"Every government lies now and then, but authoritarian regimes go further. They don’t just stretch or hide the truth. They look you in the eye and tell you that what you just saw didn’t happen." Propaganda is now part of our politics.

Pope Francis was a master of making emotional connections. He was, at heart, a pastor to wounded souls. Here are some of the most memorable moments of Pope Francis' papacy.

Pope Francis, who died today at 88, was the antithesis of a strongman. “He was the model of the world leader as a shrewd, searching, and practical man who faced hard choices in vexing circumstances, and responded humbly,” @paulelie.bsky.social writes.

Pope Francis walked humbly, loved mercifully, and pursued justice with God – not just in word, but in deed. He sought to heal a world too often fractured by hate. I join people around the globe in mourning his loss, and honoring his memory.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.
