Pope’s visit to Argentina sets up showdown with ‘hyper-capitalist’ Milei

President has opposing views on many issues, and once called Leo’s predecessor the ‘representative of the Evil One’ Trees are being planted in the garden. The brightly coloured buildings are getting another coat of paint. The choir rehearses. Hundreds of other residents, several of them using wheelchairs, practise their positions outside the sanctuary. Excitement is in the air, because on Monday 9 November, the Cottolengo Don Orione – a Catholic-run home for disabled people – will be the first stop on Pope Leo XIV’s first full day of his trip to Argentina.
