Pope Leo XIV is doubling down on his call for Argentina to look out for the weakest. He has visited a home for people with disabilities in a symbolically powerful rebuke of President Javier Milei’s austerity measures. Leo was making a pilgrimage to the Cottolengo Don Orione in the suburb of Claypole, south of the capital. The structure, founded by an Italian priest in 1935, shelters over 400 vulnerable people with disabilities across its 50 hectares. The institution, known as the “city of charity,” has been severely impacted by Milei’s austerity measures, which have hit the healthcare and social service sector hard.
