In 12 years as a Pope, Francis strongly supported the defense of immigrants, environment and social justice.

Former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, a fierce opponent of arms trade, repeatedly demanded peace in conflicts from Sudan to Gaza and Ukraine – though his requests were largely fell on deaf mines.

Clearly speaking and stubborn, Francis also tried to improve Holi’s rule and enhance the role of women and people and clear the ridiculous financial matters of the Vatican.

The church faced widespread discoveries of sexual abuse of children, lifted the pontrol confidentiality and forced religious and forced people to report cases to their top officers.

However, groups of the victims said they did not go too far.
