A burned body was found in a Catholic church in Niger after protesters against Charlie Hebdo's cartoons targeted Christian properties at the weekend. British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he disagrees with Pope Francis's comments on free expression. Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry asks if France is witnessing a Catholic revival. Victor Gaetan explains why some have mixed feelings about the Holy See's role in the breakthrough in US-Cuba relations.
