“With Pope Leo XIV, we say that economic freedom cannot be absolute and must always be measured in terms of the common good and the dignity of each person,” the archbishop added. Leo will visit Argentina, Uruguay and Peru from Nov. 8-11. The last leader of the Catholic Church to visit Argentina was John Paul II in April 1987. The visit is especially significant because of Leo’s longstanding ties to Peru. The first U.S.-born pope spent decades there as a missionary and church leader and served as bishop of Chiclayo from 2015-2023.
