The Washington Post • • world
Key Points:
- In Luanda, Angola, Catholics showed strong admiration for Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, viewing him as a symbol of peace and unity.
- Josephine García and others waited for hours under the hot sun at the airport, eager to see the pope and express their devotion.
- Despite their affection for Pope Leo XIV, many Catholics in Luanda expressed less support for President Trump, largely due to ongoing tensions and the war in Iran.
