Here is what the page “Pope Leo XIV Prays at Lourdes Grotto, to Meet Abuse Survivors” contains. Pope Leo XIV concluded his second day in France by visiting Lourdes, where he prayed at the Grotto of Massabielle, one of the Catholic Church's most revered pilgrimage sites. He is the third pope to visit Lourdes, following Benedict XVI and John Paul II. The visit is part of his broader trip to France, which began in Paris.
On Sunday, the pontiff is scheduled to celebrate another open-air mass before meeting privately with seven survivors of clerical sexual abuse. This meeting is highly anticipated, given the Church's ongoing reckoning with abuse scandals. A French inquiry found that Church members had abused around 330,000 people as minors over decades, making the Pope's engagement with survivors a significant and sensitive moment. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
