Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88, after battling a respiratory infection. His tenure as pope lasted 12 years, marked by a more progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights compared to his predecessors. He acknowledged the mistreatment of LGBTQ+ individuals and emphasized acceptance within the church. Although he made strides in creating a more inclusive environment, he did not change the church's core doctrine. Francis's legacy will be remembered for his commitment to serving marginalized communities and promoting universal love.
When asked by a journalist in 2013 about gay priests being included, Francis said, 'If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with goodwill, who am I to judge?'
His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love.
