Cathorico : le chant du coq catholique

La ferveur passée, commence le travail ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 English summary Pope Leo XIV’s four-day apostolic journey to France produced extraordinary crowds, strong images and several important pastoral signals. Around 80,000 young people filled the Stade de France, approximately 800,000 attended the Paris Mass, some 150,000 gathered in Lourdes and 35,000 welcomed the Pope in Metz. Yet the real significance of the visit will not be measured by attendance figures. Leo XIV challenged the French Church to become more missionary, to welcome the growing number of catechumens, to address abuse with truth and reparation, to defend human dignity in public debate and to remain open to the poor, migrants and those searching for meaning. The Pope has now returned to Rome. The central question begins: can the exceptional fervour of September 2026 become a lasting renewal of Catholic life in France? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✝️ 29 septembre : Michel, Gabriel et Raphaël Le lendemain...

  Du Havre à Marseille, l’étonnant arbre des Prevost ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🇬🇧 English summary Pope Leo XIV was born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago in 1955 and is unmistakably American. Yet genealogical research has revealed extensive French ancestry on both sides of his family. His paternal grandmother, Suzanne Louise Marie Fontaine , was born in Le Havre in 1894 and came from Norman and Berry families. Even the Pope’s surname has a surprising French history: recent research established that his biological paternal grandfather was in fact the Sicilian Salvatore Riggitano, who used the name John Prevost in the United States. “Prevost” came from Suzanne’s mother, Jeanne Eugénie Prévost . On his mother’s Creole Louisiana side, Leo XIV also descends from French families originating in Normandy, Béarn, Marseille , Menton and other parts of France. His ancestry therefore reflects the complex history of French migration to North America and the Caribbean. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━...

  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...
