Vatican: Pope also wants to come to Germany - no date yet
In France, Leo XIV. is cheered. What about a trip to the neighboring country? An invitation has long been extended. But the Pope is asking for patience.
Pope Leo XIV hopes to visit Germany after his recent trip to France. He has been Pope for about 15 months and has no current plans for a German visit, although he received an invitation from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier last year. The Pope will attend the World Youth Day in South Korea in August. During his trip to France, he was celebrated by over a million people at open-air services and expressed hope that a similar event could happen in Germany, despite declining church membership.
He also spoke out against extremist ideas, emphasizing the importance of values such as understanding, compassion, and companionship.
