As a Catholic I am moved by any nation that will fight for the Church, and France will do this, sometimes, even after the Revolution.France's ties to Lebanon and the Levant stem from the Crusader era and France maintains a fondness for all the Christians in the region.France got into the Crimean War out of a desire to defend Catholicism in the Middle East.I've said before that France is the "main character" of Catholic history. France has a complex character arc that twists and weaves; sometimes working against the Church, sometimes for it. But always faithful when it really matters. So I believe it will always be. In the final battle I believe France will side with the Church, and recover itself as Catholicism's Eldest Daughter in a definite way.
