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.

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants. As the media focuses on the controversial land expropriation in South Africa, many are now calling out the double standard in U.S. immigration policy.

Donald Trump’s controversial travel ban is back - this time broader, more strategic, and without an expiration date. Dubbed by critics as "Muslim Ban 2.0," the 2025 version expands beyond Muslim-majority countries, citing visa overstay rates and political instability. Unlike the explosive protests seen in 2017, this round has sparked quieter concern but deeper legal and ethical questions. As the list of restricted nations grows, so do fears about religious profiling, global diplomacy, and the long-term impact on America’s immigrant identity.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.
