Pope Leo XIV drew massive crowds in Madrid this weekend with an emotive Mass at Plaza de Cibeles, a moment that underscored the pope’s star power as faith and pop culture cross paths in the Spanish capital, eclipsing Bad Bunny’s high-profile appearance.
More than 1.2 million people gathered around Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles for Pope Leo XIV’s outdoor mass, the highlight of his Spain visit. He urged the faithful to live their faith by helping the vulnerable and called for inclusive leadership as the tour continues to Barcelona and the Canary Islands, following meetings with migrants and a 600,000-strong youth vigil; after mass he planned private meetings with his Augustinian order and a concert with figures from entertainment and sport.
