Pope Francis’ homecoming tour of South America has taken him to Paraguay, where he was emphatic in his praise of the efforts of the country’s women. At a special mass in Caacupe, which houses Paraguay’s most sacred religious site, the pontiff congratulated the nation’s women, wives and mothers. He recognized their contribution in helping rebuild the nation following the nineteenth century’s devastating Paraguayan War. More than half the country’s male population was killed in the 6-year conflict fought against an alliance of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
