Apostolische Reise nach Frankreich: Grusswort an die Journalisten auf dem Flug nach Paris (25. September 2026)

The Pope greeted journalists during a flight to Paris on September 25, 2026, as part of an apostolic journey to France. He thanked the media for their work and noted that the trip involves several important topics.

He expressed regret regarding a previous incident during a flight from Spain that prevented some journalists from traveling with him, though he noted he had no involvement in the matter.

He stated that his primary purpose for traveling to France and other parts of the world is to act as a disciple of Jesus Christ and to proclaim peace. He added that this message is especially significant in the current era. He intends to speak with the journalists again on the return flight.
