What happened, for context

Pope Leo XIV, the first pope from the United States, is conducting a four-day apostolic visit to France from September 25-28, 2026. The visit marks the first official papal visit to France in approximately 18 years and will include meetings with abuse survivors, major public masses, addresses to French leaders and UNESCO, and stops in Paris, Lourdes, and Metz. The trip occurs against the backdrop of the Church's ongoing reckoning with a 2021 report documenting over 330,000 cases of child sexual abuse by clergy in France over seven decades.
