4. And Now, A Few Kind Words From Someone With Human Empathy
Tue Apr 22, 2025, 06:38 AM
Apr 22

"Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people,” Obama wrote in a post on a social platform after Francis’s death.

“In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another,” he continued.

“Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example,” Obama added. “May we continue to heed his call to ‘never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”
