Jérôme Fourquet :”Les Français ont du mal à saisir le positionnement de Léon XIV”

In brief

Jérôme Fourquet says the French people, including Catholics, are struggling to understand the position of Pope Leo XIV.

According to Fourquet, the Pope still needs to make himself better known to the French public. This challenge is a primary goal for the Pope's upcoming visit to France at the end of September. While 32% of French citizens believe the Pope defends Catholic values well, much of the population has yet to fully grasp his stance.
