Pope Leo XIV meets synodal assembly in Paris

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV met with members of the provincial synodal assembly, catechumens, and newly baptized Catholics at the Institut Catholique de Paris on Saturday, September 26. During the meeting, the pope urged the Church in France to support those seeking faith by providing consistent formation and helping them find a place within the community after they receive the sacraments.

Addressing the growing number of adults approaching the faith, the pope encouraged the Church to accompany these individuals beyond their baptism. He noted that tens of thousands of adults are baptized every year during the Easter season in France. Pope Leo XIV called for the Church to be in a state of initiation to counter what he described as sterile pessimism.
