(Connor Johnson – TruthScript) With the passing of Pope Francis, popular media is filled with images of the newly deceased Bishop of Rome, and the Catholic Church’s hierarchy, as the Council of Cardinals prepares to choose the next successor to Jorge Bergoglio. [See update below] Conclave, a new movie highlighting the drama-filled succession process to choose a new pope, was recently trending as the #1 film on Amazon Prime. Pictures and tributes continue to pour out onto social media platforms highlighting the contentious leadership and legacy of Pope Francis.
While many positive epitaphs have been shared by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, a multiplicity of posts, comments, and discussions have emerged highlighting his reign over the Catholic Church, which was marked by doctrinal confusion, duplicity, and strategic changes enacted to liberalize the largest self-professing Christian Church in the world. Unlike Francis’ predecessors, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI, who received mixed acclaim from the world stage upon their deaths due to pontificates marked by Catholic conservatism, Francis has received seemingly unanimous adulation from unbelievers of every stripe, creed, and tradition.
