Macron Invites EU Leaders to Pope's Metz Address on European Unity

French President Macron has invited EU leaders to a papal address by Pope Leo in Metz, where the pontiff is expected to discuss Europe, peace, and unity. The event represents a symbolic gathering of European leadership around religious and diplomatic messaging on the continent's future.

Byte's take

Macron is using the Pope as a stage prop for French diplomatic leadership when Europe needs less symbolism and more coordination.
