As Pope Leo XIV travels to Algeria as part of his Apostolic Journey to Africa, questions are being raised about government use of administrative “lawfare” to dismantle religious life. Kelsey Zorzi, Director of Advocacy for Global Religious Freedom at ADF International, joins to discuss a legal crackdown amid a massive spike in church closures and arrests in Algeria over the past few years. She also examines whether the Pope’s visit will benefit the local Christian community or simply provide the government with positive publicity that could make it appear more tolerant than it is.
