Pope Leo XIV Urges Solidarity with the Poor as Madrid Hosts 1.2 Million for Outdoor Mass
Pope Leo XIV drew about 1.2 million people to an outdoor Mass in Madrid, saying God identifies with the poor and urging believers to help others, during a week‑long Spain visit that also highlights migrants and inclusive social values. The trip began with a vigil for youth and continues with meetings with migrants, a private gathering with his Augustinian order, and engagements with cultural figures as he moves on to Barcelona and the Canary Islands.
