Pope Visits France Amid New Influx of Catholics
Original: This Week: Pope Visits France, Where Church Sees New Influx of Catholics
Pope Francis is traveling to France this week, arriving as the Catholic Church there reports a notable surge in new members. Catholic media are highlighting the papal visit alongside news of a growing influx of Catholics, a striking trend in a country with a long history of secularism and declining religious practice. Commentators see the trip as an important moment for the French Church.
Why now: The combination of a papal visit and reported growth in French Catholicism is drawing attention to the state of religion in secular France.
