Pope Leo delivered a subtle but striking message to President Javier Mileion his first visit to Argentina.
Without naming Milei directly, the pontiff said political leaders must put people, not the economy, first and warned that power has limits. Milei is a self-described anarcho-capitalist who has staked his presidency on slashing public spending to tame inflation. He has described the notion of social justice as a ‘horror.’
So was Leo’s speech a clear political rebuke of Milei’s leadership, or simply a restatement of Catholic teaching? DW’s Jared Reed asks Oxford historian and papacy expert Miles Pattenden.
