Pope Leo XIV tells young French people: flee, follow, fight

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV told young people at the Stade de France to flee, follow, and fight to find true freedom. During the second part of a vigil with youth, the Pope used these three verbs from the words of Saint Paul to describe a path for the younger generation.

The Pope warned against the loneliness often found behind social media likes and urged the group to engage in a struggle where love serves as the only weapon. He asked the attendees to be witnesses of the Gospel filled with light.
