Pope Francis left a legacy of closeness and changes in the Vatican

This Tuesday marks one year since the death of Pope Francis. The world remembers the man who was, perhaps, the most open Supreme Pontiff in history, but a man who did not escape controversy.

It took him nine years, after being elected, to recognize that there was no smoke without fire in the case of sexual abuse committed within and with the connivance of the Catholic Church.

Francis was the Pope of a close never before practiced by a leader of the Catholic Church.

He kissed the feet of warring leaders asking for conciliation. He walked alone in the rain through St. Peter’s Square when humanity he was confined bya Covid-19.

Despite almost one year later of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, took a stand with emotion never before demonstrated for one PWhat.

Broke with the public speech of the Catholic Church about homosexuality.

Contradictory discourse about homosexuals

But it did not escape controversy. Francis said don’t want more homosexuals in seminaries, using a derogatory term.

Apologized, but the doubt remained about the inconsistency between public discourse and the private.

More than advertised, it was the fight against the disease. Of abdominal ailments to respiratory, was resisting the temptation to close himself in the Vatican.

He recovered and showed himself one of the most popes within time itself.

In a reflection on Iintelligence Artificial, questioned humanity about one of the most profound Catholic concepts: the freewill.

Death after Easter

The fate of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine who as a kid played ball on the streets of Buenos Aires, was to be caught due to severe pneumonia at 88 years old.

It would have been the will of the God in which Francis believed that the Pope, what in the year of the election made the cover of Time magazine as a personality of the year 2013, was caught,12 years later, by mortality itself.

Died the next day, on Monday, after Easter.

In the last year, thousands of people visited every day the simple tomb do Pope of the People, just Francisco.
