Pope tells young Argentines to resist pressure of social media at Buenos Aires mass

Pope Leo XIV, during his Latin America tour, emphasized the importance of zeal despite age or illness, urging Argentines to pursue holiness and resist societal pressures. He warned youth against obsessions with appearance and popularity, advocating for a focus on faith and community. The pope's visit, seen as a homecoming, included a massive youth vigil in Buenos Aires and calls for inclusivity in Argentina's economy. He challenged the government to support the marginalized and highlighted the need for vibrant faith communities as Catholicism declines in the country. His trip continues with a visit to a Buenos Aires prison and a mass before heading to Peru.
