Pope Francis praised the heroic role of women in Paraguay's history at a Marian shrine near the border of his native Argentina on Saturday.
Francis is in Paraguay for the last leg of a three-nation tour of Latin America, and said his first mass there at the shrine of the Virgin of Caacupe — the most notable pilgrimage site in the country — in front of tens of thousands of people, including many who traveled from Argentina.
During his homily, he called the country's women "the most glorious" in Latin America, after they played a significant role in the 19th-century Paraguayan war, which decimated Paraguay's men.
