When Pope Leo XIV's Iberia flight failed to take off, the King of Spain stepped in to help by offering his private plane to fly him back to Rome. The pope's journey for a June 6-12 visit to Spain had been historic, with Madrid drawing up to about 1.2 million for a Mass and procession and the pope addressing parliament to a seven-minute standing ovation.
