Macron cites Europe's Judeo-Christian roots during Pope Leo visit

Original: Macron invokes Europe’s ‘Judeo-Christian foundation’ as Leo visits

French President Emmanuel Macron described Europe's 'Judeo-Christian foundation' during a visit by Pope Leo, framing the continent's identity in religious-cultural terms. The remarks are drawing attention for their timing alongside the papal visit and for what they signal about Macron's stance on Europe's cultural and religious heritage in current political debates.

Why now: The combination of a sitting pope's visit to France and a president invoking religious heritage touches on live debates over European identity and secularism.
