Pope Leo's visit to France highlights shifting church-state ties
Original: Pope Leo’s visit to France shows how the church and country are changing
Pope Leo is visiting France, and coverage frames the trip as a window into how both the Catholic Church and French society are changing. Commentators point to the visit as a test of the pope's relationship with a historically Catholic country where religious practice has declined sharply and secularism remains a defining principle of public life.
Why now: A papal visit to a historically Catholic but increasingly secular France naturally draws attention to questions of religion's changing role there.
