"Il faut en finir avec ces laïcards, ronchons, frustrés, haineux. La France est chrétienne !"

The visit of Pope Leo XIV to Metz on September 28th is not without controversy. To allow the public to follow the Mass, the city council is planning to spend €250,000 to install giant screens. The Union of Secular Families considers this cost excessive. For its part, the municipality defends the investment, arguing that it could benefit the city's economy and image. 00:00 Metz to spend €500,000 to welcome the Pope: justified or excessive? 02:13 Emmanuel de Villiers: "We must put an end to these grumpy, frustrated, hateful secularists. France has been Christian since the baptism of the pagan king Clovis; they are not the ones who are going to change that." 03:42 Sandrine Pégand: "Metz isn't trampling on secularism by giving €500,000. However, it's not a free-for-all with taxpayer money. Money for broadcasting Mass, no." 04:48 Bruno Poncet: "A religion allows its leader to come here, and money has to be paid for it. Why don't we pay when an imam comes to France?" 07:38 Olivier Truchot: "The country isn't Catholic. It has a Catholic culture." 📻📺📲 Info-Talk-Sport / Radio-TV-Digital | ⏰🎙👥 Our shows: #ApollineMatin #GGRMC #EstelleMidi ▶️ All videos are available on the RMC app https://bit.ly/3l0watr Follow us on social media Facebook -   / rmcinfo   Twitter -   / rmcinfo   Instagram -   / rmc_off
