Pope Leo XIV ended his four-day visit to France on Monday and departed for Rome from the city of Metz in eastern France. French President Emmanuel Macron bid him farewell at Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
During the visit, the Pope spoke in Metz, where he addressed the need for peace in Europe and the threat of extreme nationalism. He called for courage in negotiations, compromise, and patience as means of ending the war in Europe. teraz.sk ↗
In his speech, Leo XIV emphasized the Christian roots of Europe and called for fidelity to values that he listed as including human dignity, the protection of life, and care for the most vulnerable. He also stated that Europe cannot be spoken of without recalling its Christian heritage. teraz.sk ↗
The Pope also drew attention to the deterioration of relations between people as well as between states. He criticized the lies and deceptions that, according to him, some people boast about, and called for the restoration of civilized dialogue. Emmanuel Macron ultimately attended one of the Pope's Masses, and the visit also drew attention among French politicians ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
After returning to Rome, Leo XIV answered journalists' questions about young Catholics, secularism, the dangers of artificial intelligence, and the rise of the far right. His appearances in France focused mainly on peace, European cooperation, and the protection of human dignity. Le Figaro ↗
