Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage.
