A senior Vatican correspondent at a major French newspaper has claimed that Pope Francis will travel to Paris for the reopening of the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris that is due to occur at the end of the year.
The inaugural Mass to mark what is in effect the saving of the famed cathedral, counted as one of the world's greatest and which was significantly damaged by a ferocious blaze in 2019; and to mark its return to Paris, to France and to the wider Christian world, will take place on 8 December 2024.
