Pope Francis dies at 88: A look at his legacy and the geographic history of the papacy

The Vatican confirmed the death of Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, at the age of 88. The first Jesuit and the first Latin American pope in history, Francis, passed away peacefully in the Apostolic Palace on the morning of Monday, April 21, leaving behind a legacy marked by humility, reform, and a tireless pursuit of social justice. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1936, Pope Francis shattered centuries of tradition in 2013 when he became the first non-European pope in over 1,200 years. His election not only represented a geographical shift in the papacy but also a moral and ideological one, emphasising compassion for the poor, care for the environment, and the importance of mercy over judgment.
