It is no exaggeration to say that on Easter Monday the world united in feeling a great loss with the passing of Pope Francis. His followers had hardly digested his appearance among the faithful a day earlier, as if to reassure them that, despite his illness and frailty, he wanted to underline that he lived for them and to alleviate the suffering of all, especially the marginalized and the weak of all faiths. There is a consensus that Pope Francis was a force for good despite being an outsider, as the first pope to hail from the Global South and the first non-European pope for more than 1,000 years.
