Victor Gaetan, Senior International Correspondent for the National Catholic Register, reports that Pope Leo XIV's visit to France was a successful pastoral journey revealing the intellectual and political breadth of his nascent papacy. The Pope was welcomed by individuals across diverse faiths and political spectrums in France.
