This interview was first published by Indian Catholic Matters on April 19, 2026. We are republishing it here as we mark the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ death.
It has been a year since the death of Pope Francis, a pope who, through his compassion, humility, and vision, left a lasting mark on the Church and the world. Known for his emphasis on mercy, pastoral care, and a Church that listens, he inspired Catholics to live their faith with courage, justice, and solidarity. His influence went beyond reforms or documents — it was evident in the way he lived and throughout his pontificate, which was attentive to the poor, the marginalized, and the challenges of our time.
In an interview, I spoke with Austen Ivereigh, a UK-based Catholic journalist, author, commentator, and biographer of Pope Francis who is widely regarded as the leading English-language voice on his pontificate and enduring legacy.
The author of The Great Reformer and Wounded Shepherd, and co-author (with Pope Francis) of Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future, Ivereigh brings personal insight to this interview, offering a thoughtful reflection on a papacy that continues to shape the Church today. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
