What the coverage shows

Most outlets frame the story around Pope Leo’s France trip and his stop in Lourdes, with AP, CBS, Fox, ABC, BBC, France 24, the Washington Post and The Hill all also focusing on Masses, crowds, or other visit landmarks. The AP and CBS are the clearest on the assisted-dying line, and CBS makes that the headline, while Fox also foregrounds it; The Guardian US uniquely pairs that criticism with the pope’s call to heal “deep wounds” before meeting abuse survivors. CNN stands apart by focusing only on the covered-up Rupnik mosaics.
