Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Catholic Church, died at 88, leaving a legacy marked by his commitment to the Gospel and service to marginalized communities. Elected in 2013, he aimed to modernize the Church following the resignation of Benedict XVI, which had created a need for renewal amid internal scandals. His push for social justice and critiques of capitalism generated controversy, earning both fervent support and resistance, as some perceived him as overly progressive while others regarded him as dangerously leftist. His death has led to collective mourning and reflection on his contributions.
His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized.
Francis, the first Latin American pope, was elected in 2013 at a historic moment for the Church, following the resignation of Benedict XVI.
With a sometimes impulsive and energetic character, he certainly stirred up a gale in social matters, with his unprecedented criticism of the current capitalist system.
A genuine front opened against him, among those who viewed him practically as a dangerous left-wing populist.
