Pope's procession kicks off in France
Pope Leo XIV arrived at Place de la Concorde in Paris to hold an outdoor mass attended by hundreds of thousands, marking the first official papal state visit to France in 18 years. The crowd gathered along the Champs-Élysées, where a procession stretching two kilometers was held, despite tight security barriers, even though the number of practicing Catholics in France has declined. The formal atmosphere, which resembled a celebration, drew an audience from various religious backgrounds and non-religious individuals alike, reflecting the ongoing influence of the Church in a secular country.
