Maryland churchgoers and clergy reflect on the passing of Pope Francis

from Midday · host WYPR 88.1 Baltimore

Pope Francis, a constant advocate for the poor and marginalized who worked to make the church more accessible to the public, passed away at the age of 88 on Monday. The pontiff was the first Pope from Latin America and the first Jesuit in the role. As Pope, he chastised world leaders for not doing enough about climate change and the migration crisis. On Midday, we speak to Catholic officials and parishioners about Pope Francis, his passing and what he meant for followers of the faith in Maryland.
