Women of Paraguay are the ‘most glorious in America,’ Pope says (La Nación (Paraguay))

On September 3, Pope Francis received María Leticia Casati Caballero, the new ambassador of Paraguay to the Holy See.

“What a joy that Paraguay has sent a woman to represent all women, the most glorious in America,” Pope Francis said during their 30-minute meeting.

The Pontiff made similar remarks in 2013, in a July 2015 address in Paraguay, and at a Mass in Paraguay the following day—leading to a Vatican Radio report that explained the historical basis of his remarks in the War of the Triple Alliance.
