## Summary

Pope Leo XIV urged young Argentines to resist the pull of social media approval, money and popularity, and to seek meaning through faith and the example of saints. His message came during a large gathering in Buenos Aires, where he warned that chasing online approval can lead people to lie or humiliate others.

The event was a prayer vigil attended by an estimated one million people, at the same site where Leo celebrated Mass for about 2.5 million the previous day. He also cautioned against pornography and addictive substances, describing them as sources of pleasure that can become enslaving, and encouraged young people to share their faith.
