It’s worthless to write an obituary of him that doesn’t mention that he spent the last years of his life standing with Palestinians in Gaza and speaking out against Israel massacring them. Would be strange to write about how radical he was in that position while ignoring that.

This was an interesting read.

Best pope in my lifetime, but still complicit in children getting raped.
i grew up going to catholic mass with the mexican kids. i was genuinely sad he died

no he wasnt perfect and yes the church is fukked up but he played his role in history in trying to make the church more progressive. we will see how his successor handles it

im not gonna sit here and defend the church but i liked him as a human being.

Pope Francis was the first Non-European Pope going back to 690 A.D when the Pope at the time was Syrian.



1.4 billion Catholics worldwide. Most Catholics live in the United States, Mexico, Brazil and the Philippines.

Only 340 million people in North America.
