POPE FRANCIS’ LEGACY: LGBTQ Support, 2013 Foot-Washing, Clergy Apologies & Church Reform

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage. #PopeFrancis #CatholicChurch #FaithAndChange #LGBTQ #VaticanReform #ChurchHistory #BreakingTradition #HolyThursday #ManOfTheYear #GlobalFaith #FrancisLegacy #SpiritualReform #Inclusion #ChildAbuseAccountability #JesuitPope #Vatican #ReligionNews #HumanDignity #PapalReform #Christianity #ReligiousLeadership #Forgiveness #ClergyAbuse #VaticanSummit #HistoricPope #PapalLegacy #SocialJustice #HumbleLeadership #ChurchAndChange #PopeOfThePeople #PopeFrancis2025 Also Read Paris Mourns Pope Francis: Eiffel Tower To Go Dark In Memory Of Pontiff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/paris-mourns-pope-francis-eiffel-tower-to-go-dark-in-memory-of-pontiff-4129893.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Net Worth: Catholic Spiritual Leader's Simple Lifestyle, How Much He Used To Donate From Salary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-net-worth-catholic-spiritual-leaders-simple-lifestyle-how-much-he-used-to-donate-fro-4129709.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Remembered: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About The First Jesuit Pope :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-remembered-10-lesser-known-facts-about-the-first-jesuit-pope-4129701.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
