Pope Francis has reposed, and the Church now turns to his legacy. In this second part of our tribute, Steve is once again joined by Greg Gassman of the Popeular History Podcast (popeularhistory.com) to unpack the full arc of Pope Francis’ time on the throne of St. Peter. From early humility in the Casa Santa Marta to bold global moves on war, synodality, and women in church leadership, we analyze a pontificate defined by contradiction, compassion, and courage. How did Francis challenge the office of pope while redefining what it means to be the Bishop of Rome? And how did his decisions set the stage for the 2025 Conclave?
