Pope Leo XIV to meet Macron — no concessions on euthanasia law

Pope Leo XIV is due to visit France in September, with the new French law permitting assisted dying set to dominate his agenda, according to Le Figaro. At his meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, the Pope is expected to take an uncompromising stance in defence of the protection of human life. The visit's programme is broad, but commentators are focused on this diplomatic confrontation.
