De l’Avignon des papes à Léon XIV : quand la spiritualité française nourrit Rome

Image
  Des papes français aux saints qui ont enseigné aux papes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 English summary France has influenced the papacy in very different ways over the centuries. During the Avignon period, the seven legitimate popes who resided there were men from the French cultural and political world, even though Avignon itself did not belong to the Kingdom of France. Later, France ceased to exercise such direct influence over the papacy, but its spiritual influence became remarkably powerful. Bérulle, Vincent de Paul, Jean Eudes, Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, the Curé of Ars, Thérèse of Lisieux, Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, Dom Guéranger and Charles de Foucauld all entered, in different ways, into the teaching and personal spirituality of modern popes. Leo XIV appears particularly receptive to this heritage. In little more than a year, he has already invoked Guéranger, the Curé of Ars, Thérèse of Lisieux, Charles de Foucauld, Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac and Marg...

Laurent de la Résurrection : le carme de Paris qui a façonné la spiritualité de Léon XIV

Image
  Dieu au milieu des casseroles ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 English summary Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, born Nicolas Herman in Lorraine around 1614, was neither a priest nor a famous theologian. He spent most of his religious life as a lay Carmelite brother in Paris, working first in the kitchen and later repairing shoes. Yet his simple teaching, learning to live continually in the presence of God, crossed centuries and borders. Pope Leo XIV has openly stated that The Practice of the Presence of God is one of the books that most deeply shaped his spiritual life, alongside the writings of Saint Augustine. On 26 September 2026, Leo XIV visits the Institut Catholique de Paris, built around the former Carmelite convent where Brother Lawrence lived and died. The encounter is therefore more than a historical coincidence: a Pope returns to the place where one of his principal spiritual guides learned to find God in prayer, work and the most ordinary actions of daily life....

Macron face à Léon XIV : la France chrétienne dans la République laïque

Image
  « Une France empreinte de spiritualité » ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 English summary Welcoming Pope Leo XIV at the Élysée Palace on 25 September 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech that attempted to articulate France’s Christian heritage with its modern secular republican identity. He openly referred to two thousand years of Christian history, France’s churches and cathedrals, the reconstruction of Notre-Dame, and even the Pope’s French family roots. Yet he also insisted that French secularism is not the negation of religion: believers are free to express their convictions publicly, provided they respect the law. The President then identified several areas where the Republic and the Catholic Church can enter into dialogue without necessarily sharing the same conclusions: peace, migration, social solidarity, ecology, artificial intelligence, education, youth and bioethics. The result was less a religious speech than a definition of how Macron understand...
