Can the Pope win hearts and minds in Europe?

World Update

Available for over a year

Pope Francis has been on a whirlwind tour of the European Union's headquarters in Strasbourg.It's only the second time a pontiff has visited the secular institution, and it's his first public speech on Europe. The number of Catholics in Europe is declining and the first non-European Pope in over 1,000 years has previously called Europe a 'tired' continent. So can Pope Francis mend relations? Dan Damon discusses this with Massimo Franco, a columnist for Corriere della Sera in Italy, and Catherine Dorgnac, a young student in Paris.
