Pope Francis smiled a lot, easily and broad. It has flourished in direct and unofficial confrontations: phone calls, broken notes, hugs, and masses with small groups. He was patience with the protocol: He carried his bag overnight, defended his own degree in the cafeteria, and answered the correspondent questions with his own words, medium. He was packed, designed, grabbed, majestic, sometimes deliberate, sometimes in a hurry, difficult to read, and difficult to determine. Elect the Babawiya At the age of seventy -six, Francis brought the character characteristics to the office for twelve years, until his death on Monday, and with the passage of time she was more sharpened than change. This seems the most important aspects of his era. Through the absolute identification, the Roman Catholicism returned to the street level and brought the papacy to the Earth, the twenty -third way, which was held by the second council in the Vatican, six decades ago. Despite the church scandals that involve Religious sexual assault The Financial Vatican and the Open Resistance of the Traditional Doctrine and the rituals, a man who has not been defined in turn.
This doesn’t seem long Pordek 16 He was unexpectedly resigned – the first Pope to do so in six centuries – George Mario Bergolio, head of the Cardinal Boys Boinens Aires, was elected. This was in March 2013, and the pictures of the first weeks of Francis in the office are still in mind: Returning to the hotel where he remained before his election to pay his bill, and stay in a modern hospitality house instead of the Apostolic Palace, and Mercedes Benz traded for the sanctuary. This Pope was new in many respects: the first Jesuit Pope, the first Pope of the Americas, the first to take the name of Francis, after the Italian saint was known for his embrace of poverty and his care for the natural world.
The years that followed were defined with a series of amazing actions: Pope Answer the reporter’s question About gay clerics with “Who am I to rule?” Visit the refugee camps on Lambidosa and Lezbous and return with dozens of refugees on board the papal plane. Treat a joint session of Congress. Edition “Laudato si ‘“A prominent encyclopedia About climatic emergency. Celebration of a mass in the Philippines, which was attended by six million. Visiting the Central African Republic during a civil war. He heads the Vatican Summit on sexual assault on clerics, and holds a prominent cardinal, Theodore McCarrickHe was accused of multiple works of abuse (which he carried out). After a visit to Benedict, the Honorary Pope, who came to a large existence in Deir Khalaf Boutros (until his death, came in 2022) to symbolize the depths of the traditional opposition of the Francis approach.

It appears at the Russian Embassy of the Holy See in a affected response President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. call Air strikes in Israel in Gaza They are harmful to unarmed civilians. The priests’ permit to bless the gay couples unofficially. The Trump administration’s second announcement program for collective deportation of migrants and refugees “crisis” and the reprimand of Vice Vice President JD Vance indirectly to summon the Catholic theology to support it; On Easter on Sunday, the Pope met shortly with Vans, before he gave a blessing to the believers from the Church of St. Peter.
Francis’s actions indicate his main achievement: After a third of a century of leadership Pope John Paul II Wendik – their men certainly for the state of the church and the world made them spoil while they are tone – they showed that Catholicism is an institution that changes despite itself. For the Catholics who saw the strain of its predecessors on divorced women that could not be a weakness, not strength, the recognition of social change and its willingness to enhance progress in the church came in a timely manner.
Five months after Pontevity, Francis sat in a series of interviews with Italian Jesuit Antonio Spadaro. A lot was already reported that he was raised as the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, his early plan to become chemical, and his love for Tango. However, the interview revealed Francis as a complex figure, an incubator-Catholic incubator whose deep faith seemed more than the theological or institutional, and a religious man at once decreased himself and the election of the church that was elected to lead. He admitted that, as a young boy, or a manager, for the Judaists in Argentina, he was “authoritarian”, and often made difficult decisions “suddenly and psychological”. He presented intuition about the purpose of the church and the way to do things. Indeed, he declared that the church “calls for exit from itself and going to the parties, not only geographical but also the existential parties … of sin, pain, injustice, and special”, and they used an approach in the borders, immigration and refugees rooted in the unusual gospel to welcome the least. Now the Church is conceivable as a “field hospital” “focusing on the basics, on the necessary things”, which attends a balance between its moral teachings rather than providing positions on issues such as abortion, contraceptives, and gay marriage as “a large group of doctrines that impose it in a significant way.”
Advanced publications, as the interview came The nameIt was remarkable for his sincerity. In a moment when the Vatican was usually seen, for example, in “Da Vinci icon(However, in “Conclave”) as the magical lower world, here the Pope was talking about the language of faith in an unprecedented eloquence. The arrangement of married men to the priesthood. (He has been adequately acted in these areas.) But intensive renewal efforts are likely to be abnormal for him. By definition, its attractiveness and individual personal style cannot be taken to size: the same characteristics that made him an attractive personality that prevented him from stimulating Catholicism along the lines he depicted.
Francis spent himself intuition. By setting a group of consulting Cardinate, he made the Pope more consultant. Through trips to Georgia, Japan, Iraq and Mongolia (countries where Catholics are small minorities), he faced the church outside towards other religions. With “Laudato Si” and 2020 encyclopedia, “Fratelli Totti“He emphasized that climatic disasters, dresses, and epidemics affect the poor more cruel. It was a relative stranger in the Vatican when he was elected, he internationally internationalized the Cardino College, and simplified the Romanian Korea (and women called many major roles). Senod for a month In Rome to start Catholic leaders in making advisory decisions (during which a great deputy indicated that Francis no longer considers the possibility of female deacons).
These efforts were not rooted in the church as a whole. This was partly due to the legacy he inherited from traditional chapters, the narrowness of the clergy and the bishops they appointed, and sharp drops in collective affiliation and the church in the nominal Catholic population. This was, in particular, to the continuous detection of decades of religious abuse – how the Catholic hierarchy around the world enabled the clergy from the abuse of countless youth, nuns and indigenous people who entrusted it to care for the Church. The urgent waves of the report, investigations, lawsuits and bankruptcy led to the lifting of the church. The crisis included Francis directly at several points, such as when he mocked the allegations of the victims in Chile, only to reverse himself (“I was part of the problem”).
Then there was resistance from conservative and bishops, the most explicitly described by Francis as guilt as “Heresy” and “disaster”. In this country, the oath found the rise with some members of the Catholic hierarchy. After his retirement, the Vatican diplomat found conspiracy, Carlo Maria Vigan, with sympathy in the United States; It responded to Francis, where Francis called for the resignation to support twenty American bishops. The traditionalists seized the borders that Francis set to use the Latin bloc to raise the feeling that he was cheating on the church. Roe V retreat. Wade By the Supreme Court, which included five Catholic conservatives, the Catholic right enabled Francis’s openness as not only unpleasant but foolish – retreating from the “cultural warrior” approach at the moment of his greatest success.
