Leo XIV wrapped up his visit to Uruguay on Sunday by praising the women who have passed the Catholic faith on to younger generations, as he highlighted the role the church has played since the founding of Latin America’s most secular country. “You taught your children to pray, and today they no longer do so. You used to attend Mass together, and it has been years since they entered a church,” he said. But he urged them to not despair. “Mothers and grandmothers: never tire of passing on the faith!" He travelled to the city of Florida, north of Montevideo, to mark an important local Catholic feast day, of the Virgin of the Thirty-three, for his final event in the country.
