‘Young people want the Latin Mass’ banner displayed as Pope Leo’s motorcade passes

Young Catholics held a banner and a sign promoting the traditional Mass during Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic visit to Argentina.

A group of young Catholics held a large white banner reading “Young People Want the Latin Mass” as Pope Leo XIV’s popemobile passed through the streets of Buenos Aires during his apostolic visit to Argentina on Monday.

The banner, which has gone viral across social media, was on full display on November 9, the second day of the pope’s apostolic visit. A separate video posted on X apparently shows the same group of young Catholics holding another sign that says “Freedom for the Traditional Mass” while singing and praying for the end of restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) as Pope Leo led vespers in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity.

The Latin America Leo XIV will meet: Francis-Collapse of Catholicism

Catholicism has been in collapse in Latin America since the aftermath of Vatican II -- but it went into vertiginous tailspin in the pontificate of the Pope from Argentina.

...

The results are nothing short of terrifying: during the Francis years, Catholicism became a minority religion in both Brazil (the largest nation in the region and the most populous Catholic country for decades) and in Chile, and declined everywhere. The collapse also accelerated in Francis' own Argentina, though it was not as steep in Leo XIV's adopted Peru.

One third of Brazilians are now Protestants -- and we know the collapse in Catholicism was not caused by a lack of faith: vast majorities still believe in God:

...

But, as Catholicism became identified with leftist ideologies and pagan practices (both indigenous and pseudo-African), the local bishops claimed to have a "preferential option for the poor" -- while the poor themselves opted for Protestantism.

Ping

For some secret personal reason that has never been made clear, Francis was the first pope in centuries not to visit his own homeland (all the Italians before John Paul II obviously were in it, and John Paul II and Benedict XVI both included their nations among their first apostolic voyages). Leo XIV himself, a naturalized Peruvian, will already in this trip visit one of his homelands, and it should not take long for him to be back in his native United States.

It should be noted that Francis did visit six South American countries during his papacy: Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Chile; with the latter four countries sharing a common border with Argentina to the North, East and West.

Francis was a weirdo.
