In this week’s episode, journalist Bankole Thompson reflects on the impact and legacy of the late Pope Francis, who served for 12 years as the leader of the 1.4 billion-member Catholic Church, where he emerged as the most prominent anti-poverty voice of this era. Francis, who died on April 21 at the age of 88, used his papacy to champion issues like economic justice and spoke out in defense of the homeless and migrants, clashed with some ultra-conservatives in the church who disagreed with his more inclusive vision.
Thompson examines how the leadership style of the 266th pontiff of the Catholic Church challenges Detroit’s civic, religious, and political leaders to step up and address some of the most pressing issues facing the Motor City, often referred to as the epicenter of America’s urban crisis. He compared Francis’ ministerial leadership to that of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, while explaining how Francis left an indelible mark not only on the Catholic Church but also on all institutions tasked with addressing the needs of vulnerable communities.
