How Pope Francis’ legacy reshapes the American catholic landscape

Pope Francis, who died Monday after serving as pontiff for 11 years, energized a traditionalist movement within American Catholicism that gained strength throughout his papacy. Pope Francis’ emphasis on inclusion, climate change, and migrants clashed with conservative Catholic sensibilities in the U.S., leading to a decade of tension that transformed the American church. When Pope Francis assumed leadership in 2013, many American Catholics anticipated his focus on inclusivity and ministry to marginalized communities would revitalize the church. Instead, his progressive approach galvanized conservative Catholics, strengthening resistance among the American church hierarchy, elected officials, and congregants. “Pope Francis changed all that,”
