Pope Francis, 88, Is Dead

Summary

75% Informative

Pope Francis died at age 88 this week after prolonged respiratory complications.

Frida Ghitis: The Church felt too reactionary, too calcified, too comfortable, crouching defensively rather than leading a charge against the spiritual and moral ills of our time.

She says Jorge Mario Bergoglio allowed theological dissent, spoke forcefully about environmentalism, emphasized the brutal effects of globalism, all with a wide, welcoming, and slightly impish smile.

Pope Francis has pushed for a “synodal church’s” decentralization of Church governance in which the former “authoritarian” committed himself to ceding authority.

One area where he offered less dogmatism and greater flexibility was sexual ethics.

The fullness of time will reveal whether or not he was successful.
