Grief, controversy; Pope Francis in the history of world politics
A shadow of mourning has descended across the world following the death of Pope Francis. This religious leader, who breathed his last at the age of 88, was not only the head of the Catholic Church but also a symbol of global humanity. On several controversial issues, he expressed his positions and has, at times, found himself in conflict with various world leaders. Matters such as the Gaza-Ukraine war, climate change, and immigration have brought him into disagreement with many heads of state.
