Pope Leo XIV met with Argentina's President Javier Milei at the Vatican, marking a significant moment in their diplomatic relations. The Vatican described the meeting as cordial, discussing shared challenges, including socioeconomic issues and global peace. Following the discussions, Milei's office announced that the Pope intends to visit Argentina, possibly next year. This contrasts sharply with Milei's historically contentious relationship with former Pope Francis, whom he openly criticized. Milei's adoption of radical measures for economic reform raises questions about his alignment with Catholic social teachings and his ability to maintain favorable relations with church leadership.
Milei's radical austerity measures clash with Catholic teachings of social justice, raising concerns about his capability to sustain positive relations with the Vatican.
During the meeting, Pope Leo confirmed plans to visit Argentina, potentially as part of a broader South American tour next year.
