Catholic Church

Pope Leo XIV celebrated a massive open-air Mass for an estimated 800,000 people at Paris's Place de la Concorde during his four-day visit to France.

Many Catholics received the news of Pope Leo XIV's planned visit this November as a sign from heaven, against the backdrop of a severe economic crisis that has pushed millions into debt following the president's austerity measures. The Archbishop of Buenos Aires stated: "People need two or more jobs to make ends meet, or they fall into the trap of loans that lead to debt."
