By WCVB Boston, April 21, 2025
Following the death of Pope Francis on Monday morning, NewsCenter 5 spoke with the Archbishop of Boston Richard Henning, who reflected on the Pope's life and honored his legacy. NewsCenter 5 also spoke to Boston College Theology and Religion Professor Thomas Groome, who said the Pope was a "reformer" who moved the church forward, as well as Sarah Pearson of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, who said although the Pope many many stride forwards, he failed to pass a "zero-tolerance law" which would end the priesthood of priests who abused members of their congregation.
