Episode Details

Pope Leo the Fourteenths visit to the Church of Our Lady of Muxima in Angola holds significant historical and symbolic weight. Built by Portuguese colonizers during the slave trade, the church witnessed the baptism of enslaved Africans before their journey to the Americas. Now a major Catholic shrine, the Popes recitation of the Rosary here could transform the site from a place of pain to one of healing and holiness. Leos Creole heritage, with roots in both enslaved and enslaving ancestors, adds layers of meaning to his visit. Angola, still grappling with colonialisms aftermath and a civil war, hopes Leos message against exploitation and corruption will bring real change and reconciliation.
