教皇利奥十四世在巴黎主持60万人弥撒并阐述世俗性Pope Leo XIV Leads 600,000-Strong Paris Mass and Addresses Secularity
教皇利奥十四世于9月26日继续对法国进行为期四天的访问，在巴黎协和广场及香榭丽舍大街周边主持预计约60万人参加的大型露天弥撒。在巴黎第二天的行程中，教皇首先前往协助流亡人士融入社会的巴希塔之家，向移民群体表示人们能够尊严与和平地共同生活；随后在巴黎天主教学院会见法国省教区大会成员、慕道者与新受洗者，呼吁众人呵护并保护信仰的微小幼苗。 利奥十四世在访问期间表示，真正的世俗性不应将宗教排除在公共领域或教育之外，而应推动国家与宗教机构保持对话并服务于公共利益。法国天主教会公布的数据显示，当地成年人与青少年对天主教的关注度呈现上升态势，预计今年将有约13200名成年人和8200名11至17岁青少年接受洗礼，分别较2025年增加28%和10%。教皇在结束巴黎的弥撒活动后，定于当晚乘机前往朝圣地卢尔德继续访问行程。
Pope Leo XIV celebrated an open-air Mass in central Paris on Saturday, September 26, 2026, drawing an estimated 600,000 faithful to the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées during his four-day tour of France. Starting his second day in the French capital, the pontiff visited Maison Bakhita, an association assisting people in exile, where he told migrants that it is possible to encounter one another and live together in dignity and peace. He subsequently gathered with members of the Provincial Synodal Assembly, catechumens, and newly baptised individuals at the Institut Catholique de Paris, urging the faithful to welcome and protect the newly kindled seeds of faith. The papal visit comes as the Catholic Church of France records renewed religious participation, projecting around 13,200 adult and 8,200 adolescent baptisms this year, representing increases of 28 percent and 10 percent respectively from 2025. Addressing the role of faith in a nation with long-standing church-state separation laws, Pope Leo XIV stated that authentic secularity does not exclude religion from education or the public sphere, but instead ensures constructive dialogue between state and religious bodies before departing Paris for Lourdes.

03阐述“真正世俗性”与法国受洗人数增长背景Remarks on 'Authentic Secularity' and French Baptism Trends
在针对政教分离已逾一个世纪的法国发表讲话时，教皇利奥十四世在周五的访问行程中阐述了其对世俗主义的理解。他提出，真正的世俗性并非是将宗教排除在公共领域或教育体系之外，而在于努力确保国家政权与宗教机构之间保持持续对话，并为了公共利益携手合作。
Addressing a country where legislation has separated church and state for more than a century, Pope Leo XIV articulated his perspective on secularism during his visit on Friday. The pontiff stated that authentic secularity does not involve excluding religion from public life or educational settings, but rather focuses on ensuring that state authorities and religious institutions maintain active dialogue and combine their efforts in the service of the common good.
此番言论发表之际，法国天主教会近期在不同年龄群体中观察到了重新关注信仰的迹象。教会统计数据显示，法国预计今年将为大约13200名成年人以及8200名年龄在11至17岁之间的青少年举行受洗仪式，两项数据相较于2025年分别实现了28%与10%的增长幅度。
These remarks coincided with observable shifts in religious participation reported by the Catholic Church of France, which has noted renewed interest among both adults and adolescents.
