Léon XIV : le pape qui résiste à Trump

One year ago, on May 8, 2025, the world discovered the new pope, the American Robert Prévost, named Leo XIV. A frequent target of Donald Trump, he found himself at the center of the news. He notably opposed the war in the Middle East and criticized the religious justifications offered for this conflict by the Trump administration. US Secretary of State Mark Rubio met with the pontiff today to try to improve relations. Is Leo XIV truly positioning himself as a counterweight to the American president? Why was his trip to Africa the first major event of his pontificate? What will be the significant symbolic moments of his visit to France in September? We discuss this with Philippine de Saint-Pierre, Director General of KTO and permanent accredited to the Vatican; Christophe Dickès, historian specializing in Catholicism and author of "Christianity, a Religion of Historians," published by Salvator; and Loïc Hervé, Centrist Union senator for Haute-Savoie, Vice-President of the Senate, and Secretary of the France-Vatican Friendship Group. 🔴 To stay up-to-date on all political and parliamentary news, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/publicse... 👉 Our website: http://www.publicsenat.fr ▶️ Watch all our replays: https://www.publicsenat.fr/replay 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://bit.ly/NewslettersPublicSenat 🚀 Follow us on social media: Facebook:   / publicsenat   X:   / publicsenat   Instagram:   / publicsenat   LinkedIn:   / 2996809   Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/publicsenat.fr Threads: https://www.threads.net/@publicsenat TikTok:   / publicsenat
