Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, has died at the age of 88. Known for his humble style and concern for the poor, he also faced criticism from conservatives for his critiques of capitalism and climate change. During his papacy, Francis emphasized humility and mercy, and made efforts to reform the Vatican bureaucracy and finances. He also made significant changes to the Catholic Church's stance on various issues, including homosexuality, the death penalty, and the role of women. Despite facing challenges and controversies, Francis left a lasting legacy as a pope who prioritized the marginalized and called for economic and political reform.
