His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Francis had experienced a number of health issues in recent years, including two\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-surgery-health-leaves-hospital-today-2021-07-14\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">abdominal<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-surgery-no-complications-working-from-hospital-recovery\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">surgeries<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and several serious\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-cancels-cop28-dubai-trip-flu-lung-inflammation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">respiratory infections<\/a><\/span>.

In more recent appearances, however, the pontiff clearly struggled for breath as he delivered planned remarks.<\/p>\n<p>After being elected by his fellow Catholic cardinals in 2013, Francis set the tone with his first official act as pope, reversing a centuries-old tradition \u2014 by simply asking for help.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2020\/12\/16\/4496291a-055e-476d-9a76-529f0e30ef75\/thumbnail\/1240x827g2\/dfb68a01199e7dd2b651df489c993e24\/gettyimages-461608174.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa#\" alt=\"Pope Francis waves to thousands of followers as he arrives at the Manila Cathedral on Jan. 16, 2015, in Manila, Philippines. \" height=\"827\" width=\"1240\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Pope Francis waves to thousands of followers as he arrives at the Manila Cathedral on Jan. 16, 2015, in Manila, Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Lisa Maree Williams\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Normally after a new pope is elected, they come out and bless the masses gathered at St. Peter&#8217;s Square at the Vatican. But when Francis was elected, he came out and first asked the faithful to bless and pray for him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to ask you a favor,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Before the bishop blesses the people, I ask that you would pray to the lord to bless me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It may seem a subtle change, but along with his familiar greeting and farewell to the crowd in Italian that day, it set the tone for his entire papacy. Francis made it clear that he identified himself as a brother pilgrim, not as an imperial pope. He didn&#8217;t want to keep leading a one-way monologue from the highest post in the Catholic Church, but a dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>As pope, the man previously known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose to name himself after Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of Italy, known for his simplicity and humanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first pope from the New World, born and raised in Argentina, he said he wanted &#8220;a poorer Church&#8221; and one that would &#8220;include the excluded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He set an example by choosing to live in Room 201 at the Santa Marta \u2014 a small Vatican hotel usually used for visiting priests \u2014 rather than in the lavish papal apartments used by his predecessors. Francis carried his own bag, and walked across Rome to buy his own pair of glasses.<\/p>\n<p>His desire to reach out to ordinary people sent the bulletproof &#8220;popemobiles&#8221; into storage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I cannot greet people from inside a sardine can,&#8221; Francis famously explained, &#8220;even if it is made of glass.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He became one of the most popular public figures in the world, regularly speaking up for the voiceless and leading by example \u2014 whether that was by dining with the homeless, washing inmates&#8217; feet, or providing a home in Italy for migrants and refugees fleeing war or economic instability.<\/p>\n<p>Francis railed against consumerism and individualism, and he insisted that &#8220;unfair economic structures&#8221; were a violation of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>He also pushed for progress in combating climate change, even publishing an encyclical \u2014 a formal letter from himself to Catholic leaders around the world \u2014 on the topic. And he reformed the Curia \u2014 the central administration of the church \u2014 allowing lay men and women to run Vatican offices, positions historically reserved for cardinals and bishops.<\/p>\n<p>Francis continued to give his public prayers during the coronavirus lockdowns, but with crowds banned, &#8220;the people&#8217;s pope&#8221; was left to deliver his messages in an empty St. Peter&#8217;s Square.<\/p>\n<p>Wasting no time after getting his COVID vaccine, Francis made a daring, first-ever\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-iraq-covid-controversial-1st-papal-visit-coronavirus-terrorism\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">papal visit to Iraq<\/a><\/span>, despite immense security risks. In Mosul, where ISIS militants once ransacked churches, Pope Francis prayed in them.<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, his health finally caught up with him. He spent 10 days\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-surgery-health-leaves-hospital-today-2021-07-14\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">in a Rome hospital<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in July 2021 recovering from a scheduled surgery to remove part of his colon.

He was accused, at first, of being insensitive in his slow response to the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Then he tried to take control of the narrative, notably summoning senior clerics from around the world to the Vatican in early 2019. From that meeting came new Vatican laws about sex abuse, and a mandate that every diocese set up a clear reporting process. Francis also abolished the top-level confidentiality of the &#8220;pontifical secret,&#8221; which had shrouded the sex abuse crisis in yet another layer of systemic secrecy.<\/p>\n<p>His diplomatic skill was on display when he\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-cuba-thaw-in-relations-helped-by-pope-francis-vatican\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">played a key role<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in restoring relations between the United States and its decades-old enemy, Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>Francis&#8217; simple style was a product of his humble beginnings. He was born in 1936 to an immigrant Italian railway worker and a housewife in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a young man, he lost part of a lung to an infection. He worked at various menial jobs and studied chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>After being ordained as a priest at the late age of 32, he made visiting the slums of Buenos Aires and caring for the city&#8217;s poor a feature of his ministry.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference aboard one papal flight years later, he appeared to crack open a space for homosexuals in the church, with a single, highly symbolic phrase: &#8220;Who am I to judge?&#8221;\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-on-gays-who-am-i-to-judge\/\" target=\"_blank\"

of the church when it comes to acceptance, the church&#8217;s teachings and policy did not change.<\/p>\n<p>Despite drawing fire from Catholic conservatives for being too liberal, Francis reaffirmed long-standing church doctrines\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pope-francis-interview-same-sex-couples-surrogacy-conservative-bishops-60-minutes\/\"

claimed that he only brought a small bag to the papal conclave in 2013 that saw him elected, because he expected to be going back home to Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, neither his life, nor the papacy, were ever the same again.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3
