Pope Leo XIV's visit to an African church linked to slavery reflects on his own complex heritage

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Church of Our Lady of Muxima was built by Portuguese colonizersin Angolaat the end of the 16th century as part of a fortress complex and became a hub in the slave trade. It remains a reminder of the inextricable link hundreds of years ago betweenCatholicismand theexploitation of the African continent.

Angola Pope Slavery Church

Pope Leo XIV’splanned visit to the church in the town of Muxima on Sundayas part of his Africa touris in recognition of it becoming a popular Catholic shrine after believers reported an appearance by the Virgin Mary around 1833.

But before that, the white-walled church on the edge of the Kwanza River was a point where enslaved Africans were gathered to be baptized by Portuguese priests before being forced to walk the last 145 kilometers (90 miles) to Angola’s main port of Luanda to be put on ships to the Americas.

The Portuguese colonizers were emboldened by 15th-century directives fromthe Vaticanthat authorized them to enslave non-Christians.

Angola was at the center of the slave trade

Ultimately, more than 5 million people left from Angola on the trans-Atlantic slave route, more than any other country and nearly half of the roughly 12.5 million African slaves sent across the ocean.

It’s unclear if Leo will address slavery on his Africa trip, as St. John Paul II did on papal visits to Cameroon in 1985 and Senegal in 1992.Joe Biden visited Angolain the last months of his presidency in 2024 and spoke about slavery as America’s “original sin.”

But some African Catholics see a highly symbolic moment when the head of the Catholic Church — who is himself an American — recites the Rosary on the riverside esplanade next to the fortress and the centuries-old chapel in Muxima, as Leo plans to do.

“For me, the pope going there to pray the Rosary ... he will give that place a new significance,” said Rev. Celestino Epalanga, a priest with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Angola. “We have to give it a new sense. To make this place sacred instead of being a place of evil.”

The pope’s complex heritage

The moment might resonate even more after revelations around Leo’s own heritage.

Last year, agenealogist in the U.S. discoveredthat the first American pope — whose name is Robert Prevost — has Creole heritage and his maternal great-grandparents were described as people of color in Louisiana census records. The research uncovered that Leo had Black and white ancestors who included both enslaved people and slave owners.

Some of the first slaves toarrive in Louisianawere sent from Angola, according to historians.

Leo has not spoken publicly about his heritage. But Mariana Candido, a professor of history at Emory University in Atlanta, said she sees a fascinating complexity in how a place linked to such an immoral act like Muxima became a pilgrimage site for Angolans and how Leo might be cognizant of that when he goes there to reach out to a new generation of African Catholics.

“I can see how this is a way of connecting to Catholics in Angola, and making the Church more in sync with how people are practicing Catholicism in Angola and in African countries,” she said.

Candido said Leo is well-placed to do that, given his history serving people in his hometown of Chicago, with its large African American population.

Rev. Stan Chu Ilo, a Nigerian priest and professor at DePaul University in Chicago, said he has seen evidence that the pontiff is developing connections to Africa by elevating African figures in the church, including with the recent promotion of Monsignor Anthony Ekpo of Nigeria to a high-ranking position at the Vatican.

“This pope is actively cultivating African presence within the church and trying to, I think, heal this policy or program of seeing Africa as just making up the numbers,” said Chu Ilo.

Leo said at the start of his trip that he had decided in May of last year, soon after his election, that Africa would be his first trip as pope. Other trips intervened in the meantime, but he said this particular visit to Africa was “very special for several reasons.”

A church that confronts modern-day problems

Angola bears especially deep scars from slavery and colonialism. It was a Portuguese colony until 1975. Immediately after independence, it slipped into a bloody civil war that pitted Angolans newly freed from colonialism against each other. The conflict lasted on and off for 27 years and killed more than half a million people.

African priests Epalanga and Chu Ilo both recognize colonialism’s impact but said it’s also important that Leo invigorates a Catholic Church in Angola — originally brought by colonial oppressors — to be an agent for good confronting modern-day problems.

The Vatican has said that some of the themes Leo will raise in Africa are the exploitation of natural and human resources, corruption and authoritarian regimes.

That resonates with Olivio Nkilumbo, an opposition lawmaker in Angola’s Parliament who said the country is still not a democracy that delivers for its 37 million people more than a half-century after independence. Nkilumbo cited decades of authoritarian governmentsand an economic inequalitythat has left millions in poverty despite Angola’s oil, diamonds and other resources.

“We still don’t have democracy, don’t have freedom,” said Nkilumbo, who added he wanted the pope to bea pilgrim for peace and reconciliationbut to also bring a forceful message calling for social justice. “In my view, the pope knows the real situation of Angola.”

Nkilumbo said he was not a Catholic but praised the Catholic Church in Angola, the country’s dominant religious denomination, for being at the forefront of that fight for equality.

Epalanga plays that role. Alongside his work as a priest, he is executive secretary of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Angola, which actively works to promote democracy and ease poverty and inequality, often challenging authorities.

Epalanga said he was one of many members of the church invited to an audience with Pope Leo in Angola. If he has the chance to speak to the pope, Epalanga said he would “thank him for coming and ask him to tell the bishops they should be more committed to the poor and to social justice.”

Meet Justin Bieber's Parents, Pattie Mallette and Jeremy Bieber

Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette welcomed Justin Bieber in 1994

NEED TO KNOW

• The singer is their only child together, although Justin has four siblings — Jazmyn, Allie, Bay and Jaxon — through his father

• Justin gave his parents a shout-out during his Coachella 2026 performance

Justin Bieber's parents,Jeremy BieberandPattie Mallette, were just teenagers when they welcomed him in March 1994.

The couple split shortly after his birth. While Justin remains Pattie's only child, Jeremy later expanded his blended family, welcoming four more children: Jazmyn, Allie, Bay and Jaxon.

Decades later, Justin entered a new chapter of his own. In summer 2024, he and his wife,Hailey Bieber, welcomed their first child, sonJack Blues Bieber— a milestone that also made Jeremy and Pattie grandparents for the first time.

In April 2026, the “Yukon” singer celebrated his roots on one of music's biggest stages. Whileheadlining Coachella, Justin gave his parents a heartfelt nod during his performance of “EVERYTHING HALLELUJAH,” singing, “Mom and dad, hallelujah.”

From how they encouraged his singing career to how they've expanded their families, here's everything to know about Justin Bieber's parents, Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette.

Pattie worked office jobs when Justin was growing up

Justin's mother, Pattie, was born in 1975 in Ontario, and welcomed Justin when she was 18 years old. While Jeremy wasn't as active in Justin's upbringing when he was a child, Justin lived primarily with his mom, who toldThe New York Timesshe worked a number of low-paying office jobs to make ends meet.

“I grew up with not a lot of money,” Justin told the outlet in December 2009. “We never owned a house. I want to buy my mom a house.”

Pattie has been supportive of Justin's career since he was a child

According toBillboard, Pattie encouraged Justin's musical talent at a young age, entering him in talent shows and posting his performances on YouTube, which is how he ultimately got discovered.

Pattie has been by her son's side since the start of his fame, from Justin's initial visit to Atlanta to meet managerScooter Braunto signing with a record label. She also appeared in Justin's 2011 documentaryJustin Bieber: Never Say Never, which chronicled the musician's rise to stardom.

"It's really fun watching him grow and transition," Pattie told MTV News in 2013. "It's just been this crazy whirlwind, and I'm just along for the ride."

Jeremy and Justin have had an up-and-down relationship

Justin's dad, Jeremy Bieber, was also born in 1975 in Ontario. While he shares Justin with ex Pattie, he is also a father of four other children: He shares daughter Jazmyn and son Jaxon with ex Erin Wagner, and daughter Bay with his wife Chelsey Rebelo. Jeremy is also a dad to Chelsey's daughter Allie from a previous relationship.

While Justin's relationship with his father has experienced ups and downs over the years, the two have a strong bond. The singer toldBillboardin November 2015 that his father was "not in a place where he could raise a kid" when Justin was younger.

"He was immature. He left for like a year when I was about 4, went to British Columbia, came back on Father's Day," Justin recalled. "I remember my mom said, 'If you're going to be here, you have tobehere.' There's a misconception that he's this deadbeat dad, but he has been in my life since. I was with him on weekends and Wednesdays."

In February 2016, however, Justin toldGQthat he was "a lot closer to my dad than I am to my mom" at the time.

The singer opened up about his relationship with Jeremy again in December 2017, sharing a photo of the two on Instagram and writing, "I️ love continuing to get to know my father I️ love working through hard things to get to the good things..relationships are worth fighting forespecially with family!! Love you forever and always daddy!"

The "Peaches" singer is "honored" to be Jeremy's son and praised his father in a 2022 post for Father's Day. "Love you pops!" he captioned a throwbackphoto. "Happy Father's Day! So much to look forward to. Best is still ahead of us! Honored to be your son."

Justin also has a relationship with his stepmom, Chelsey Bieber

Chelsey Bieber (née Rebelo) is Justin's stepmom. After dating Jeremy for several years,the two got engagedon Feb. 19, 2016, in St. Barths.

Justin celebrated his father's pending nuptials at an engagement party in Toronto a few months later.Justin reportedly performed at the private partyand played piano. He laterserved as a groomsmanat Jeremy and Chelsey's 2018 wedding.

Just like Justin, Chelsey is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, frequently sharingphotosof herself attending games with Jeremy and wearing team garb.

She's also seen her stepson perform on tour. In March 2022, she shared aphotoof Jeremy and their four children at one of Justin's shows. "Let's gooooooo @justinbieber 💜💜💜💜," she captioned the shot.

Pattie and Justin were estranged for a period of time

While Pattie has supported Justin's career, they were estranged for two years. In November 2015, the pop star toldBillboardthat their relationship was "pretty nonexisting."

He explained, "I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me, and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust. She's living in Hawaii now, so it's hard, but getting better. She's an amazing woman, and I love her."

The mother-son duoreunited in January 2018for a vacation together, and Pattie shared aphotoof the two in an embrace with a sweet caption.

"I'm so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming," she wrote. "I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years."

Pattie is close with Hailey Bieber

Pattie also seemingly has a close relationship with Justin's wife, Hailey, whom he wed in September 2018. One day after Justin and Hailey secretly tied the knot,Pattie celebrated the coupleby tweeting, “Love is unconditional.”

Pattie and Jeremy became grandparents for the first time in 2024
