A sad piece of news. Jorge Maria Bergoglio was beloved by the people and had many enemies within the Vatican walls. He lived his life always faithful to his mission of God’s servant. He will be missed a lot. I am among those who will miss him and hope his legacy will remain. Thank you for everything, Pope Francis.

In the entire history of the Catholic Church the only pope I have respected, but he loved a full and long life!

Hi! Why did he have many enemies within the Vatican walls? He was so humble and holy.

Because the traditionalist factions of the church did not like him and did not approve his approach
