The first non-European Pope has been more than 1000 years, and the first in the Lavish papal apartment, but the two-room Vatican chose to live in the living room. He did not name Assisi’s St. Francis, known for nothing, not for anything.

Francis changed the tone and tongue of the discussion to emphasize the need for tolerance and understanding without changing the doctrine with sexuality, faith and marriage questions. In response to the presence of gay priests in the church, his first opinion, “Who am I to judge?” In 2023, he led to the approval of unofficial blessings for the same-sex couple.

However, Pope Francis should be remembered for his modern progress and to try to experience gospels with miracle teachings, with needy and oppressed. The personal example was perhaps the strongest legacy.
