Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV completed a four day visit to France, highlighting meetings with the sick in Lourdes and a gathering of young people at the Stade de France. During a press conference on his flight to Rome, the Pope described these moments as signs of hope and noted the importance of restoring dignity to the elderly and those suffering from illness.

During his trip, the Pope spoke about the diverse origins of the French people amid a nationalistic presidential campaign. Muslim theologian Omero Marongiu-Perria noted that the Pope's comments reached beyond the Catholic community.
