Pope Leo XIV has begun a two-day visit to the Canary Islands, where he met migrants and listened to their accounts of dangerous Atlantic crossings to Europe. Speaking in Gran Canaria, he described migrants as “people, not numbers,” stressing human dignity and calling for safer, legal migration routes. He also paid tribute to those who died at sea by laying a wreath in the ocean. The visit highlights ongoing debates over migration policy in Europe, even as arrivals decline but deadly crossings continue. The Pope urged leaders to strengthen compassion and prevent the Atlantic from becoming a graveyard for migrants.
