A look at Pope Francis' legacy and focus on social justice

Season 2025 Episode 111 | 7m 22s

Francis' 12-year papacy was a remarkable one, working in service to the church until the very day before he died. He sought to focus more explicitly on social justice, on climate change and addressing the most marginalized in society. But he was also criticized for actions that fell short of his public remarks, undercut commitments or went too far for some Catholics. Stephanie Sy reports.
