Pope Francis legacy and the rise of Catholicism in the global south • FRANCE 24 English

As the first pope from Latin America and the Global South, Pope Francis became a powerful symbol for Catholics beyond the Northern Hemisphere—particularly in the South, which is home to the fastest-growing Catholic population. For more on this, France 24’s Shirli Sitbon joins us from the international affairs desk.

  2. catholics the people who love ❤ that pope francis lived his life kissing black ⚫ peoples feet & Clearly there needs to be a black ⚫ pope next or We All Confused what a catholic is LOL 😂❤ & God Bless The EU

  5. This is false. In Catholic South America and global South the Church has broken continuity. The 1960's saw the Church suffer auto immune disease or cancel culture that has resulted in a disconnect from historic Christianity, many abuses, distortions and mediocrity. This has seen sects from the US move in and lure away Catholics. The typical playing card is to cause low trust and incredulity towards Catholicism and then use a pop concert style to get the youth. Pope Francis sheltered abusers like Rupnick, Sanches and even rehabilitated McCarrick until public pressure pushed him. He them promoted all McCarrick apprentices into the Conclave.

  6. Catholicism is the only religion that ties up faith & good work together as requisite to etenal salvation. The world needs good work.
    Protestantism is the veiled capitalism,: individual achievements like wealth & influence. Islam is all about conquering by the sword,

  8. As an Indian catholic, i feel so proud to be a catholic. While Europeans were busy distancing themselves from church, we in the global south stayed with the church, faithful even in the face of presecution…we kept christianity alive..❤❤
