Pope Leo XIV concluded his four-day visit to France on September 28, 2026, with massive crowds and significant discussions on migration and European unity. The Pope’s trip, the first papal state visit in 18 years, began with an address on artificial intelligence at UNESCO headquarters in Paris and a Mass attended by more than half a million people. In Metz, he emphasized the importance of peace through dialogue and criticized increased arms expenditure, advocating for welcoming migrants and fostering European unity. The visit also highlighted Catholicism’s resurgence, as young people engaged enthusiastically despite France's secular history. Pope Leo met with several European leaders in Metz to discuss these themes further, ending a trip that showcased both religious devotion and political discourse.
