Pope Leo XIV sets a record in Buenos Aires.
About 2.5 million people gathered at the open mass of Pope Leo XIV in Buenos Aires. This is the greatest divine service during his stay, Kazinform's own correspondent in the EU reports.
The previous record was set in June 2026 in Madrid, where about 1.2 million believers gathered. The Mass was held on November 9 at the Spanish Memorial in the Palermo area.
In his homily, the Pope noted the faith of Argentines, emphasized the importance of the family and remembered his predecessor Pope Francis, who was the archbishop of Buenos Aires before his election.
The 71-year-old Pope is going on tour less than a month after undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
