- Pope Leo XIV visited the Mama Muxima sanctuary, a key site in Angola's slave trade during Portuguese colonial rule.
- Originally part of a fortress, the shrine was used to baptize enslaved Africans before they were forced to march 110 kilometers to Luanda’s port.
- Fifteenth-century papal bulls authorized Portugal to enslave non-Christians and justified colonial land seizures under the Doctrine of Discovery.
- Though the Vatican repudiated the Doctrine in 2023, it has not formally rescinded the original papal bulls or apologized for the Church’s role in slavery.
