Bishop Robert Brennan commemorated the late Pope Francis, who passed away on Easter Monday at age 88, acknowledging his humility and dedication to the Catholic Church. He highlighted Francis' commitment to human dignity and social justice throughout his 12 years as pope. Many Brooklyn Catholics attended a mass in his honor, where Brennan recalled significant memories of Francis, including his impactful leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brennan praised the pope's fraternal spirit and friendliness, concluding with hopes for Francis' reward in the afterlife.
Pope Francis will always be remembered for his profound respect for the dignity of all people and his commitment to helping the poor and oppressed.
That image of him standing alone... showed confident leadership but, at the same time, a certain tenderness. Those images really marked his pontificate.
