Making religion roomy

Pope Francis died today on Easter Monday at his Vatican residence. Pope for 12 years his legacy is of making the Catholic Church more progressive and kind to other faiths. As the custodian of the largest church and a history tracing itself to the apostles the papacy commands a spiritual authority no other seat does. While the seat has long been a conservative staff bearer pope Francis attempted to loosen up. His support for refugees made the conservatives uncomfortable. He made it a point to speak to the besieged of the holy family church in Gaza every day and nothing could be more symbolic of the Christian. His efforts to make meaningful conversations with other religions and his support for queer unions was welcome in times of identity wars across the globe. His efforts to decentralize the church may help make the diverse world more peaceful. We in India can appreciate it as the attempts to homogenize our diverse amorphous faith has made our diversity inflammable. “who am I to judge “ the liberal dogma, coming from the papacy is nothing short of revolutionary. This will to extend equality of faith and conscience to all can save our civilization.
