The next pope must navigate a world filled with crises and a Catholic Church grappling with its legacy amid ongoing scandals. Pope Francis fostered a global perspective by appointing 163 cardinals from diverse backgrounds, striving for inclusivity. His successors are urged to uphold this commitment while addressing deep-seated issues like clerical abuse and the church's need for restitution. As global conflicts escalate, it is paramount for leaders to advocate for peace and integrity, following Francis's relentless push for truth in troubled times.
As wars rage in Israel, Ukraine and Sudan, the world needs leaders of integrity to speak truth to power. Pope Francis's advocacy for peace was unstinting.
Pope Francis urged the church to 'come out of herself and to go to the peripheries,' calling for a vision that transcends traditional European influences.
