Pope Criticizes France Over Issue
Pope John Paul XIV rejected the arrangements prepared by France for his visit, including a tour of Notre Dame Cathedral, an official dinner, and accompaniment by the Republican Guard. He preferred to attend the Vespers prayer only, without organizing an official visit. This tension is linked to differing perceptions: Paris considered the visit a state visit, while the Vatican preferred it as a papal visit. The disagreement is also due to the Pope's opposition to the assisted dying law enacted by France, which President Macron supports. It is expected that Macron will meet him at the airport and hold discussions despite these disagreements.
