Sąd oddalił wniosek organizacji laickich. Metz może wydać 250 tys. euro na wizytę Leona XIV

In brief

A Strasbourg administrative court rejected a request from two secular organizations to stop the city of Metz from spending 250,000 euros to prepare for the visit of Pope Leo XIV.

The two groups, the Union des familles laïques (Ufal) and Les Profanes, challenged a local government resolution that allocated the funds. The court denied their request to suspend the execution of this resolution.

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Metz on September 28, which will serve as the final day of his apostolic journey to France.
