Pope Leo's France visit called deeply political
Original: For a 'measured diplomatic figure', Pope Leo's visit to France has been 'deeply political'
Pope Leo XIV is on a visit to France that analysts describe as deeply political, despite his reputation as a measured diplomatic figure. Commentators note the trip touches on church-state relations and sensitive political territory in a formally secular republic, drawing attention to how the new pope is positioning himself on the world stage early in his pontificate.
Why now: The new pope's trip to France is being scrutinised for its political implications in a secular state.
