Pope Leo XIV draws 2.5M to Buenos Aires mass, largest of pontificate

Pope Leo XIV presided over a mass in Buenos Aires attended by an estimated 2.5 million people, the largest of his pontificate, evoking John Paul II's 1982 peace mass. The event underscores the Pope's popular appeal in his home region, though attendance figures are organizer estimates and unverified. It signals potential soft-power influence in Latin America but has no direct market or geopolitical impact.
