The death of the first Latin American Pope is news that unites Everyone around the life and trajectory of the last pontiff of the Catholic Church.
The Italian media Rai, in its radio chain Radio 1, issued a program focused on portraying editorial analysis and editions of the most important media in Latin America, around the death of the Pope.
Among the registered media is, without fail, one of the native nation of Pope Francis, Argentina. It’s about The Nation, where its cover of April 22, 2025 prayed “an unrepeatable pope.”
“Why unrepeatable? Because he didn’t care how much the person who had ahead went to church, if he had received the sacraments, if he was a man, woman or gay. He was interested in only a good person. This has been your revolutionary message “, A journalist from the newspaper La Nación in Argentina said in the Radio 1 program.
Another of the mentioned means is El Mercurio de Santiago de Chile, where Gabriel Pardo, politics editor from the medium assured:
“The pontificate of Pope Francis has opened to a more universal church, since the choice of his name, Francisco, the saint of the poor. Also the choice of living in Santa Marta. In Latin America it has been perceived as a form of proximity to the peripheries. Where are the most humble and marginalized. I would say that one of the great contributions of his pontificate, with respect to Latin America, was how he addressed the situation of sexual abuse that occurred within the Church. The reforms carried out in the curia became a fundamental part of its legacy. “
In the case of Colombia, the director of the newspaper La República, Fernando Quijano, said before the Italian environment that “the death of Pope Francesco leaves a vacuum in Latin America of enormous proportions. The Catholic religion, instead of decreased, continues to grow. Pope Francis embodied economic ideas. Important economic ideas about poverty, inequality, in favor of solidarity. Ideas also capitalized by the populist leaders of Latin America. Petro in Colombia, Maduro in Venezuela and Ortega in Nicaragua They were inspired by Francisco’s ideas, “he said.
“An important pope has gone like none. He is a determining pope in a very poor continent, also from a political point of view. There is only one reflection on the death of Pope Francis: why did he never return to Argentina, his native country? “Quijano emphasized.
Another of the countries present in this analysis is Costa Rica, where Iary Gómez, a journalistic consultant of this country assured “For us, in Latin America, Pope Francis was much more than the Pontiff of Latin America, a great hope throughout the continent. Francisco has walked among the people, hugging the poor, denouncing injustices. “
“Justice has shown that faith cannot be indifferent to poverty, forced immigration, violence, corruption. Its direct way of speaking has been decisive. Some have defined populist, but the reality is that no one has been able to ignore their event worldwide “he said from San José Costa Rica.
