Pope Leo XIV made a visit to Paris on Saturday morning focused on the question of immigration, notably going to the Catholic Institute of Paris, nicknamed "la Catho," before traveling down the Champs-Élysées in the papal vehicle.
He then went to Place de la Concorde to celebrate a mass attended by, according to the Vatican, approximately 700,000 people.
During the mass, the pope declared: "None of us is a number on an identity card, nor a registration number, but a unique person."
The visit is part of a broader trip by the pontiff devoted to migration issues, at a time when the subject remains debated in France and Europe.
