Priesthood

On November 19, 2025, Pope Leo XIV amended Article 8 of the Vatican's Fundamental Law, authorizing the participation of lay men and women in the Pontifical Commission. This legal reform, inherited from the pontificate of Francis, marks a historic step toward a more inclusive and egalitarian Vatican governance, integrating women and lay people into a legislative body previously reserved for cardinals. A discreet but major turning point for the Church, calling for renewed co-responsibility between clergy and faithful.

Discover the true meaning of Saint Paul's words, "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). Beyond judgment, this biblical text invites us to rediscover the dignity of work as co-creation with God, the peril of fruitless activity, and the balance between charity and responsibility within the Christian community. A profound reflection to find inner peace and spiritual meaning in our daily lives.

In 2025, a groundbreaking survey conducted by Ifop for the French Observatory of Catholicism revealed that 80% of French priests reported being happy in their ministry. Despite fatigue and challenges, they experienced their vocation as a gift, embracing pastoral joy, solitude, and renewal. A younger, more international, and collaborative Church is emerging, where human recognition and daily mission are central. This study offers a nuanced perspective on the French clergy, moving beyond the usual stereotypes.
