World Monthly
France goes to the polls on Sunday. It’s between centrist Emmanuel Macron and far right candidate, Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, is a divorcé who considers herself a catholique de parvis (a Catholic just outside the walls). She doesn’t oppose abortion, but is in favour of rolling back gay marriage and IVF for gay couples. Macron is a Jesuit-educated liberal who supports same-sex marriage and immigration. So how will French Christians vote in this election? The panel also discusses the war in Yemen, the rising tensions with North Korea and the United States, the Pope’s visit to Egypt and the main issues that our panel will be voting on in the UK elections.
