Pope Leo XIV arrived in Spain on Saturday for a seven-day visit, which is his longest trip in Europe so far. The program is taking place at a time of political tension in the country and focuses on issues of migration, social justice, and the crisis of trust in the Catholic Church. svet.sme.sk ↗
One of the main topics of the visit is sexual abuse in the Church. The Pope discussed this issue with representatives of Spain, with the topic following on from the March agreement between the Spanish government and the Catholic Church on compensating victims. According to available information, the Pope described abuse in the Catholic Church as an open wound. teraz.sk ↗
The trip is also taking place against the backdrop of a crisis facing the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and a politically divided environment in Spain. The program is set to include an address by the Pope to the Spanish parliament. The visit is also accompanied by a broader social context, as his arrival in Madrid coincides in timing with a series of concerts by Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. aktuality.sk ↗
An important stop will be Barcelona, where the Pope is to bless the new tower of the Sagrada Familia basilica. According to published information, the basilica is the tallest church in the world. The visit therefore has a religious, political, and social dimension, and will be watched as an important signal of the Vatican's stance on issues that have long sparked debate in Spain. pravda.sk ↗
