Live: Pope Leo XIV flies to France for eagerly awaited visit
The Pope flew to Paris on Friday for the first leg of a four-day visit covering topics including artificial intelligence and migration.
Pope Leo XIV flew to Paris on Friday, where he was expected by enthusiastic faithful, marking the first leg of a four-day visit to France.
According to available information, the Pope will address multiple topics during his stay, including artificial intelligence, migration, and the fight against sexual violence. The trip is being followed live by several media outlets.
The choice of these topics reflects the priorities the pontiff has displayed since taking the helm of the Catholic Church, in a context where artificial intelligence is increasingly occupying a central place in public debates worldwide.
Precise details of the Pope's schedule beyond his departure — including the timetable for his official meetings and public addresses in France — were not available in the material reviewed at the time of writing.
The visit is part of a broader trip being closely monitored by French authorities and Catholic communities across the country.
