Pope Francis had been invited by French President Emmanuel Macron – who himself will attend the ceremonies – but Francis made the striking decision to decline the invitation. The Pope instead will travel to the French island of Corsica the following Sunday (December 15) for a one-day trip to close a meeting on popular religiosity in the Mediterranean.
Francis’ non-attendance in Paris and his subsequent decision to instead visit Corsica has confused many, with many in mainland France especially being disappointed.
Ping
Someone should tell the Pope that non-Catholics are also welcome to attend. He’d have company.
popular religiosity?
No way of reading this than as a massive snub. He can’t stand a free people chose a more Christ centered government and the free society that comes with it.
Good. He’s only sully the event. He should go visit a mosque.
(Insert Admiral Ackbar meme here)
Very positive, I see the restoration itself as a very positive act for the Western people and am glad the American President sees it as important enough to travel to the opening.
Is the Pope a Catholic?
According to https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/260663/papal-trip-confirmed-here-is-what-pope-francis-will-do-in-corsica-on-dec-15, it describes the visit with an allusion to messages he gave in recent visits:
On both occasions, the pontiff spoke about migration. This visit continues Pope Francis’ engagement with the Mediterranean region, following earlier trips to Lampedusa, Lesbos, and Malta, where he emphasized the Church’s call to solidarity with migrants and coastal communities.
Is the pope catholic?
Not this one.
Why should non-Catholic Francis attend a major Catholic event??
This pope is probably the most catholic of them all.
Much like Pelosi and Biden. In name only
What is this hideous mezzaluna altar in the newly redone Notre-Dame de Paris? Will the wreckovation spirit not depart until the last Boomer in the Catholic Church has died?
You posted: “Is the Pope a Catholic?”
I think the proper question is: “Is THIS Pope a Catholic?”
Or a bathhouse.
Frankie is a closet muslim, still pissed that his ‘boys’ didn’t really do a good job and angered that Macaroni rebuilt the cathedral. So of course he would not come.

In Frankie’s case, a resounding NO!!!
Bergoglio is Deep State.
He serves mammon.
