BREAKING: Pope Francis dead at 88

After months of failing health, #Pope #Francis, the first Pope from Latin America—Buenos Aires, Argentina—passed away on Monday April 21, shortly after #Easter. He was selected as Pope in 2013, and leaves behind a complicated legacy among many Catholics, including both traditional and less traditional Catholics. Hear Colin’s immediate reaction to the news, as a lifelong #Catholic who is also quite critical of the church in recent years. Colin discusses where he feels the Pope missed important opportunities to affect positive change both within and outside the #Vatican. A new #conclave will begin to select the next Roman Catholic Pope. All opinions are our own, and do not reflect those of any institution or affiliation, past or present.
