教皇利奥十四世将以两个令人动容的时刻结束对阿根廷的访问:在一座与该国军事独裁历史相关的监狱会见囚犯,以及在阿根廷国家圣殿举行最后一场弥撒。
Pope Leo XIV will wrap up his visit to Argentina with two poignant moments: a meeting with inmates at a prison with a history linked to the country’s military dictatorship, and a final Mass at Argentina’s national shrine.
妮科尔·温菲尔德、德博拉·雷 布宜诺斯艾利斯,阿根廷 —— 教皇利奥十四世 这两个地点都与利奥的前任教皇方济各有着重要的情感联系。但与利奥在周三晚些时候返回家乡秘鲁时,将在南美之行中迎来的情感高潮相比,他在阿根廷的最后几站行程将显得黯然失色。
NICOLE WINFIELD, DÉBORA REY BUENOS AIRES, Argentina —Pope Leo XIV Both sites have important sentimental connections to Leo’s predecessor, Pope Francis. But Leo’s final Argentine stops will pale in comparison to the emotional highlight of his South American trip when he returns home later Wednesday to Peru.
一场盛大的全国性欢迎活动计划迎接利奥,他在秘鲁担任传教士神父和主教已超过二十年。秘鲁人称他为罗伯特神父,并因他在危机时期尤其致力于服务贫困社区而深受爱戴。
A massive national party is planned to greet Leo, who spent over two decades as a missionary priest and bishop in Peru. He is known to Peruvians as Padre Robert and is beloved for ministering to poor communities especially in times of crisis.
效仿方济各会见囚犯 在布宜诺斯艾利斯,利奥计划访问德沃托监狱,方济各担任布宜诺斯艾利斯总主教时曾经常在此牧灵服务。方济各曾在此举行弥撒,探访收容艾滋病囚犯的监舍,并在每年圣周仪式中为囚犯洗脚。
A meeting with inmates as Francis did In Buenos Aires, Leo was scheduled to visit the Devoto Prison, where Francis often ministered when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires. Francis celebrated Masses, visited cellblocks housing inmates with AIDS and washed the feet of prisoners during the annual Holy Week ritual.
该监狱于1927年启用,目前正在进行最终关闭,并将其1000多名囚犯转移至一个新的监狱综合体。
The prison, inaugurated in 1927, is currently undergoing its definitive closure and transfer of its more than 1,000 inmates to a new penitentiary complex.
在上一次军事独裁统治期间(1976-1983年),它曾作为秘密拘留和酷刑中心运作,并于2012年被指定为记忆遗址,以确保军事镇压不被遗忘。
During the last military dictatorship (1976–1983), it functioned as a clandestine detention and torture center and was designated as a Memory Site in 2012, to ensure the military repression is not forgotten.
人权活动家律师已向法院请愿,阻止在所有囚犯转移完毕后作出任何涉及出售或处置监狱土地和设施的决定,称“必须保留该场所,直到关于在那里发生的反人类罪行的调查尘埃落定”。
Human rights activist lawyers have petitioned the courts to prevent any decision involving the sale or disposal of the prison’s land and facilities once all inmates are transferred, saying “the space must be preserved until the investigations regarding the crimes against humanity that occurred” there are finalized.
1978年,65名普通囚犯在一场大屠杀中遇害,该事件后来被命名为“第七大楼大屠杀”(Masacre del Pabellón Séptimo)。军事独裁政权官方掩盖了该事件,但法院证实这是一起国家暴力行为。
In 1978, 65 common prisoners were killed in a massacre that was later named the Masacre del Pabellón Séptimo (Seventh Pavilion Massacre). The military dictatorship officially covered up the incident, but the courts proved that it was an act of state violence.
2025年12月,联邦法院判处前监狱长胡安·卡洛斯·鲁伊斯和奥拉西奥·马丁·加林德斯各25年监禁,罪名是对153名被拘留者实施酷刑,以及因大屠杀期间发生的火灾和对囚犯的暴力镇压导致其中65人死亡。两名获刑者在宣判时均已年过90岁。
In December 2025, a federal court handed down 25-year prison sentences to former prison chiefs Juan Carlos Ruiz and Horacio Martín Galíndez for the torture inflicted on 153 detainees and the deaths of 65 of them as a result of the fire that broke out during the massacre and the violent repression inflicted on the inmates. The convicted men were over 90 years old when they received their sentences.
利奥延承方济各的传统,在出访期间会见囚犯,提醒他们并不孤单,依然是上帝挚爱的子女。他最后一次此类探访是在赤道几内亚的一座监狱,那里发生了他教宗任内最令人毛骨悚然的时刻之一:囚犯们被迫在倾盆大雨中为他歌舞。
Leo has carried on Francis’ legacy of meeting with inmates during his foreign trips, to remind them that they are not alone and are still beloved children of God. His last such visit, at a prison in Equatorial Guinea, provided some of the most chilling moments of his pontificate, when the inmates were forced to sing and dance for him in the pouring rain.
探监后,利奥将前往阿根廷国家圣殿——卢汉圣母圣殿朝圣,该圣殿供奉阿根廷的主保圣人。
A final Mass at Argentina’s national shrine After the prison visit, Leo will make a pilgrimage to the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Luján, dedicated to Argentina’s patron saint.
卢汉市位于布宜诺斯艾利斯西北约72公里(45英里)处,呼吁朝圣者提前数天抵达,原因是活动规模巨大,且安保和后勤部署广泛。
The municipality of Luján, about 72 kilometers (45 miles) northwest of Buenos Aires, urged pilgrims to arrive days in advance due to the sheer scale of the event and the extensive security and logistical deployment.
该圣殿是阿根廷信仰和宗教虔诚最盛大的展示之一。每年10月,成千上万的朝圣者从布宜诺斯艾利斯及周边城镇徒步前往,向卢汉圣母感恩或祈愿,方济各对卢汉圣母有着特别的敬礼。
The basilica hosts one of the greatest demonstrations of faith and religious devotion in Argentina. Each October, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims walk there from Buenos Aires and other nearby towns to give thanks or make requests to the Virgin of Luján, to whom Francis was particularly devoted.
今年的朝圣活动在持续降雨中进行。市政当局表示,尽管如此,仍有超过280万人参与,创下该圣殿的纪录。
This year’s pilgrimage took place under persistent rain. And yet more than 2.8 million people took part, a record for the shrine, municipal authorities said.
