Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Buenos Aires next week, prompting political tensions as the government balances religious diplomacy with domestic unrest, per Buenos Aires Herald.

Argentina’s foreign minister denied accusations from Brazil that former President Bolsonaro’s escape to Brazil was linked to Argentine officials, Bloomberg reports.

The Catholic Church's growing influence in Argentina is also reflected in the recent approval of a new 30-team format for the Argentine football league, as noted by Batimes.
