Pope Francis Dies at 88: A Missionary of Mercy, Unity, and Hope

Pope Francis Dies at 88: A Missionary of Mercy, Unity, and Hope

Pope Francis, the first Jesuit and Latin American pope, passed away on April 21, 2025, at the age of 88. He leaves behind a profound legacy of humility, compassion, and global missionary outreach. Elected in 2013, he chose the name Francis to honor Saint Francis of Assisi, symbolizing his vision of a Church that is poor and for the poor. His papacy was marked by a deep devotion to Mary, particularly under the title Our Lady Undoer of Knots, and a commitment to social justice, simplicity, and care for creation.

Driven by the Great Commission, Pope Francis emphasized evangelisation with joy, calling Catholics to be “missionary disciples” in Evangelii Gaudium. He fostered Christian unity through ecumenical dialogue, reaching out to Orthodox, Protestant, and Evangelical communities. His leadership reminded the world that the Church must go to the existential peripheries, serving the marginalized and lifting the voices of the poor and oppressed.

Vatican Radio played a vital role during his pontificate, extending his messages to millions around the globe. From remote villages to war-torn regions, the voice of Pope Francis reached hearts and homes, amplifying his call for peace, mercy, and solidarity. His legacy endures as a beacon for a renewed, inclusive, and missionary Catholic Church.

Who Owns the American Dream? Free Speech, Global Media, and Political Propaganda

Who Owns the American Dream? Free Speech, Global Media, and Political Propaganda

The American Dream has long been a symbol of economic mobility, opportunity, and social justice, but in the 21st century, its reality is increasingly being questioned. Rising economic inequality, intergenerational poverty, and corporate power have made upward mobility more difficult for many, while shifting media narratives and political rhetoric have transformed the Dream into a tool of propaganda and misinformation. As migration and globalization continue to reshape the U.S. economy, the perception of the American Dream has evolved, with debates over immigration policies, deportations, and border security further complicating the vision of America as a land of opportunity.

At the same time, media freedom, independent journalism, and free speech are under threat, making it harder to separate fact from fake news. Internationally, the Chinese Dream has emerged as a competing vision, challenging American exceptionalism and raising questions about whether capitalism and the free market still provide a reliable path to success. Organizations like NEXUS-IBA play a crucial role in ensuring that global broadcasting and independent media provide unbiased insights into these complex issues, helping audiences critically assess whether the American Dream is still alive or merely a carefully controlled illusion.
