The Pope's Visit to France: A Collision Course on Life and Death The impending visit of Pope Leo XIV to France takes place against a backdrop of stark contrasts between the Catholic Church's stance on abortion and euthanasia and that of secular France.
This high profile encounter has significant implications for both France and beyond.
One notable aspect of the Pope's itinerary is his planned visit to UNESCO in Paris, which may seem unusual given the organization's focus on education, science, and culture.
