Greg Dixon: 我报道了教宗方济各于复活节星期一去世的新闻，享年88岁。据梵蒂冈消息称，死因是中风。他是一位具有全球影响力的杰出人物，呼吁关注环境、帮助穷人以及欢迎移民。
Silvia Paglioli: 方济各教宗以其平易近人的风格而闻名，他经常深入人群，与民众亲近互动。他拒绝乘坐防弹车，体现了他对安全的淡然态度以及与人民同在的决心。他打破传统，选择住在梵蒂冈酒店而非教宗住所，这表明了他简朴的生活方式。他作为布宜诺斯艾利斯大主教时，一直与贫民窟的民众保持密切联系，这为他的教宗生涯奠定了基础。他的第一次出访就去了兰佩杜萨岛，那里是许多逃离战争和贫困的移民进入欧洲的门户，这突显了他对移民问题的关注。他著名的“谁是我评判？”的言论，体现了他对包容性和接纳的态度。他将教会比作战场后的野战医院，致力于治愈信徒的伤痛，并寻找那些受伤害、被排斥或离弃的人。他致力于整顿梵蒂冈的财务，并改革低效的官僚机构。他呼吁根除性侵害的“死亡文化”，并在梵蒂冈召开了特别峰会。他宣布了一年一度的慈悲禧年，强调了上帝慈悲的普世性。
Nicole Winfield: 方济各通过拒绝教宗的君主制装饰，发表了强有力的声明，表明他将与普通人一起生活，这体现了他简朴的生活方式和与人民的紧密联系。
Massimo Fagioli: 方济各的教宗任期将社会边缘的被剥夺者置于关注的焦点，这与之前的教宗不同。他是一位来自全球南方的教宗，这为他的教宗生涯增添了独特的视角。他领导一个非常保守的机构，却试图从上到下进行彻底的改革，这本身就是一个革命性的举动。
Antonio Spadaro: 方济各将教会比作战场后的野战医院，这并非简单的修辞，而是指教会完全向世界敞开，去拯救人们，不仅仅是治愈一些小问题。
Elisabetta Piqué: 方济各坚决反对解放神学背后的左翼意识形态，并专注于拉丁美洲的草根宗教，这体现了他对宗教信仰的独特理解。

Silvia Paglioli: 'He was beloved for his common touch, wading into crowds, kissing babies, the disabled and the disfigured. Oblivious to his age security fears, he refused to ride in a bulletproof popemobile.'
Silvia Paglioli: 'On his election in 2013, after the surprise resignation of Benedict XVI, he broke with tradition, opting to live in a Vatican hotel rather than the opulent papal quarters.'
Silvia Paglioli: 'The first papal trip was to Lampedusa, the island gateway to Europe for hundreds of thousands of migrants fleeing war and poverty.'
Silvia Paglioli: 'Weeks later, in his first airborne news conference, Francis uttered a phrase that would define his papacy as inclusive. If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?'
Silvia Paglioli: 'In a long interview with Father Antonio Spadaro, Francis outlined his vision of the Catholic Church as a field hospital after battle, healing the wounds of the faithful and going out to find those who have been hurt, excluded, or fallen away.'
Nicole Winfield: 'By rejecting the monarchical trappings of the papacy... Francis made a powerful statement. I'm going to live with regular people...'
Massimo Fagioli: 'Most popes before Francis had no occasions to meet with the outcasts.'
Elisabetta Piqué: 'He firmly rejected the leftist ideology behind liberation theology, says Piqué, and focused on a Latin American grassroots religiosity.'
