Pope Francis left a profound and transformative legacy on the Catholic Church, marked by significant reforms and a shift in focus toward inclusivity, humility, and social justice. Here are some of the major impacts of his papacy:

Structural Reforms: Pope Francis worked to address financial scandals within the Vatican, implementing stricter controls and recovering funds that had been mismanaged. He also restructured the Vatican's administration to improve transparency and efficiency.

Focus on the Marginalized: He emphasized the Church's mission to serve the poor and marginalized, famously stating his desire for "a poor Church for the poor". His outreach extended to refugees, Indigenous communities, and those affected by climate change.

Environmental Advocacy: Through his encyclical Laudato Si’ (2015), Pope Francis brought environmental issues into the Church's teachings, urging global action on climate change and stewardship of the Earth.

Addressing Sexual Abuse: He took steps to combat clerical sexual abuse, including criminalizing grooming under Church law and abolishing secrecy rules that had previously shielded offenders.

Inclusivity and Modernization: Pope Francis softened the Church's stance on issues like homosexuality and contraception, fostering dialogue on topics previously considered taboo. He also appointed women to leadership roles within the Vatican, breaking long-standing traditions.

Interfaith Dialogue: He strengthened relationships with leaders of other religions, promoting peace and mutual understanding.

Simplification of the Papacy: Known for his humility, Pope Francis rejected many of the traditional trappings of the papacy, choosing to live in modest accommodations and emphasizing a more accessible and relatable leadership style.
