Pope Leo XIV departs to visit polarized Spain with focus on migrants

Pope Leo XIV headed to Spain on Saturday for a visit focused on immigration and social justice at a politically turbulent time for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

The visit starts with a welcome at the royal palace in Madrid from King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. Later in the day, there will be a prayer vigil near Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium where 400,000 people are expected.  During his seven-day trip, Leo will make a speech to the Spanish parliament and bless the new tower of the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona -- now the world's tallest church.
