The death of Pope Francis 

A reflection by our General Secretary Lynn Green

I am saddened to hear of the death of Pope Francis and I give thanks for his life and ministry.  He was a man of deep humility, with an unwavering commitment to God and the Roman Catholic Church.

He was consistent in his commitment to advocating for vulnerable and marginalised people on a range of issues. He tirelessly affirmed the cause of ecumenism, persistently commended the virtues of synodality and has been an inspirational leader to many.

Today I am praying for my Roman Catholic sisters and brothers across the globe as they mourn his death.
I will continue to pray in the discernment process for the next Papal appointment.
