Pope Leo XIV in Córdoba

On November 10th, the pope visited Córdoba and held a mass that was attended by between 650.000-800.000 people. It took place on the airfield of the Fábrica Argentina de Aviones, next to a military flight school. At that scale, the event mirrored music festivals. The crowd was separated into sub-squares, giving enough space for the popemobile take some laps between them when arriving from the commercial airport outside the city. Dozens of priests later moved between the parts of the crowd to give the communion. If you want to learn a bit more, I wrote about the pope’s visit to Argentina (in German) for Amerika21.
