Pope Leo XIV visits France
Pope Leo XIV will visit France later this month to greet 80,000 people, according to Religion News Service and America. A banner at the Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire basilica in Lourdes announces the upcoming visit.
The visit comes as record numbers of young people seek baptism. Claire Giangravè of Religion News Service notes that the country's diminished Catholic Church faces the challenge of turning this enthusiasm into a lasting renewal.
