France's 'digital missionaries' fuel baptism boom
Original: How France's 'digital missionaries' are fueling a baptism boom
France's Catholic Church is seeing a surge in adult baptisms, driven in part by young evangelists dubbed 'digital missionaries' who spread faith content online. Their social media outreach is credited with drawing new converts, particularly among young adults, in a country long considered one of Europe's most secular. Observers say the trend marks a notable reversal for the Church.
Why now: Reports of a sharp rise in baptisms among young French adults challenge assumptions about secularisation and are drawing wide attention.
