The Catholic Church in France has a long tradition of strict separation between religion and state (secularism).

Font size

The Catholic Church in France is renewing itself. This is what Pope Leo XIV said upon returning from his four-day visit.

France's reputation as a godless nation that promoted the separation of religion and state like no other in Europe has proven to be deceptive. You could already guess that when the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris burned down seven years ago.

The images of the crowds of people from the Arc de Triomphe to Concorde Square gathering for the papal mass testify to a renewed influx to the church. But what does this “monumental event for the history of France” that President Emmanuel Macron spoke of mean?

Open Questions

  • ?What concrete consequences does this influx have for French society?
