Pope Francis celebrates mass for 2.5M in Argentina; skips Brazil on Latin America tour

Pope Francis held a mass for 2.5 million faithful in Argentina during his second visit to Latin America, with an itinerary including Uruguay and Peru but notably excluding Brazil. The omission of Brazil, the largest Catholic country in the region, signals a potential diplomatic or pastoral shift, though the Vatican has not commented on the reason. This visit underscores the Pope's focus on his home region and may influence regional Catholic dynamics.
