My headcanon: Francis is actually a royalist and a devout Catholic, but in modern times he keeps it a secret. As a nation, he should have a politically neutral image.
Yet all those close to Francis know that as long as Francis remembers Jeanne d'Arc, he will remain a Catholic and a royalist. To him, Jeanne d'Arc was a holy sister and a heroin sent by God. The sanctity of Jeanne d'Arc is indisputable for Francis.
