From his humble beginnings in Buenos Aires to becoming the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics, Pope Francis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio) walked with the people, never above them. He passed away on April 20, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, courage, and reform. Known as the “Pope of the People,” Francis once said, “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting, and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security...” This powerful vision defined his papacy: a Church not cloistered in ceremony, but active in service among the poor, the marginalized, and those most in need of grace. As the world reflects on his extraordinary life and the mark he left on global faith, politics, and culture, this compelling tribute tells the story of a man who chose simplicity over spectacle and mercy over judgment. Celebrate the life, vision, and enduring voice of Pope Francis—now a legacy for the ages.
