Italy Pope

Pope Leo XIV has begun a four-day visit to France, aiming to highlight his appeals for peace and reflection on artificial intelligence. His visit includes stops in Paris, Lourdes, and Metz. Church bells rang as he arrived in Paris, marking the first papal visit in 18 years. President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him at the airport, and they will meet at the Élysée Palace. Leo plans to emphasize Europe's Christian roots and discuss global issues like climate change. Security measures are in place, similar to those during the Paris 2024 Olympics, with thousands of police and military personnel deployed.
