Pope Leo XIV to visit France
Vatican
Pope Leo XIV traveled through France from September 25 to 28, 2026. His apostolic journey included stops in Paris, Saint-Denis, UNESCO, Lourdes, and Metz.
During the trip, the pope delivered nine speeches and four homilies. A collection published by Cerf gathers these fourteen official addresses, which center on the theme "For the world to have life."
The visit follows the release of the pope's first encyclical, *Magnifica humanitas*. That document addresses the human, economic, and cultural consequences of artificial intelligence.
