Vatican City: Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Monday, will go down as a fundamentalist Pontuff in history, who is a champion of underdugs, who developed a more compassionate Catholic Church while blocking centuries -old boundaries.

In the name of “The People’s Pope”, Argentina’s Pontuff liked to join his flock and was popular with the loyalists, though he faced bitter opposition from the traditions inside the church.

The first pope of the United States and the southern hemisphere, he defended the most backward people, from immigrants to climate change communities, which they warned that this was a crisis that was caused by humanity.

But when he fought against the global sexual scandal by the priests, groups of survivors said concrete steps were slow to come.

With his election in March 2013, George Mario was anxious to identify himself as the leader of the Catholic Church.

He became the first pope to name Francis after the 13th -century mystical St. Francis, who abandoned his wealth and dedicated his life to the poor.

“How do I want a poor church for the poor,” he said three days after his 266th Pope. “

He was a polite personality who wore plain clothes, stopped Pupal’s passionate palaces and called himself, some of them widows, rape victims or prisoners.

Former Archbishop, a former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, was more accessible than his predecessors, talking about young people from social media to pornography-and talking openly about his health.

Francis has always left the door open to retire like his predecessor Bendite XVI, which became the first Pontuff after the Middle Ages in 2013.

Following the death of the Benedict in December 2022, Francis became the first sitting pope in modern history, which led the Popal’s last rites.

In 2021, due to colon surgery and bronchitis and knee pain in June 2023, he suffered poor health of his health, which forced him to use a wheelchair.

More than a month for bronchitis in both lungs, his fourth hospital admission, for the longest time, had to raise speculation that could be discharged.

But in February 2023, he eliminated the words of saying that Pupal’s resignations should not be a “common thing”.

In a memorandum of 2024, he wrote that the resignation was a “possibility of remote”, which was justified only in the form of a “serious physical obstacle”.

Kiss the prisoners’ feet

Before his first Easter in the Vatican, he washed the prisoners’ feet in Rome Prison.

It was the first place in a series of powerful symbolic gestures that helped him achieve the enthusiastic global praise, which ended his predecessor.

For his first trip abroad, Francis chose the Italian island of Lampidosa, which appeared in the hope of arriving in Europe for thousands of immigrants, and criticized “globalization of apathy”.

He also condemned plans during his first term to build a border wall against Mexico by US President Donald Trump.

After Trump’s re -election, Francis condemned the deportation of his planned immigrants as a “major crisis” that “will end badly”.

In 2016, at a height of Europe’s migration crisis, Francis left for the Greek island of Lisbos and returned to Rome with three families of Syrian Muslims.

He was also committed to kissing Moscow’s Orthodox Petariak Kerala in a historic encounter in February 2016, and in 2019 to call for international reconciliation with the renowned Sunni Maulvi Shika Ahmad Al -Tayyib for independence.

In other ways, Francis reinforced the Vatican diplomacy, which helps facilitate historical prejudice between the United States and Cuba and encourage the peace process in Colombia.

And he tried to improve relations with China through the 2018 agreement – a historical – but criticized by Bishops.

Appeal to the climate

Experts supported Francis to influence the 2015 Paris climate agreement with his “Laudoto C” Encyclo, which appeals to the implementation of climate change, which was based in science.

He argued that the developed economies were blamed for a coming environmental disaster, and in a recent appeal in 2023 it was warned that some losses were “already non -refundable”.

Pontaf, a lawyer for peace, repeatedly condemned the arms makers and argued that a third world war continued in a number of disputes seen around the world.

But their intervention was not always well -regarded, and after praising the war -torn Ukraine people, Kiev gave rise to anger from Kiev who had “dared to raise and talk and talk.”

In his minor rooms at the Vatican Casa Santa Marta Guest House, Francis wrote his problems in the posts to St. Joseph and dealt with stress.

He said in 2017, “From the moment when I was chosen, I had a special sense of deep comfort. And he never left me.”

He also liked classical music and Tango, and once stopped at a room shop to buy records.

‘Who am I to decide?’

Francis fans supported it to change the impression of institutions surrounded by scandals when it helped bring the end of the endeavor.

Critics alleged that they were alarmingly tampered with the principles of Catholic education, and they faced strong opposition to many of their reforms.

In 2017, the four conservative cardinals almost seriously challenged the new public challenge of their authority, adding that their changes have sown ideological confusion among the believers.

Francis also moved the reforms within the Vatican, allowing citizens to prosecute cardinals for restoration of Holi’s banking system by citizens’ courts.

He also tried to meet the victims of the most harmful problem of sexual exploitation by the priests and to resolve the responsible ones.

It opened the Vatican archives for civil courts and made church officials mandatory to report abuse or suspicion of cover.

But critics say that his legacy will be a church that is reluctant to hand over the pedo file priests to the police.

‘Pick up on the pasta’

George Mario Bergoglel was born on December 17, 1936, in an Italian migratory family in a middle -class Flores district of Buenos Aires.

Biography Paul Waelley wrote, the eldest of the five children, “Argentina was born but was raised on the pasta”.

Later, Francis heard a period of riots during his geometry training, when he met a woman she met at a family wedding.

By then he had survived a nearly fatal infection, which resulted in the removal of parts of the lungs. His poor breath eliminated hopes of becoming a missionary in Japan.

He was appointed a priest in 1969 and only four years later, he was appointed a provincial, or leader of Jessotes in Argentina.

In connection with this order, his time, which, which covers the country’s military dictatorship, was difficult.

Critics accused him of cheating with two radical priests who were imprisoned and tortured by the government.

No convincing evidence of this claim was ever revealed, but his leadership was divided and, in 1990, he was deported to Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina.

Then, in the fifties, Most biographers have been seen going through a mid -life crisis.

He emerged to start a new carrier in the mainstream of the Catholic rating, as the first “bishop of the Kachi population” in Buenos Aires and later as a pope that would break the shield.
