Catholic Intelligence1 min read

In brief

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit France in just over a week.

A recent survey shows that French Catholics hope the visit will bring new life to the Church in their country. According to OSV News, some believers are looking for a sense of momentum similar to what occurred during the 1997 World Youth Day with St. John Paul II. While the survey indicates that many Catholics do not know the current pope well, they are counting on what has been called the Leo effect.
