Pope Leo warns against AI creating ‘paradise of machines’ in first visit to France – Europe live

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the visit through the tension between a secular France and a church trying to broaden its appeal, with the New York Times emphasizing Leo XIV’s effort to speak to both old Catholic heartlands and newer strongholds. The Washington Post is alone in foregrounding conversion tactics such as TikTok-savvy priests and QR codes, while France 24 splits its coverage between a live travel update and a separate report focusing on a schism with a rebel Catholic sect.
