April 21, 2025

Following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, Berkley Center Senior Fellow Paul Elie reflects in the New Yorker on the pope's legacy and his quiet reshaping of the papacy. In this piece, along with an earlier article published ahead of Easter, Elie considers how Pope Francis redefined the role of the Catholic Church in the modern age and offers perspective on the future of the Church without his leadership.
