Director of Fordham University's Center on Religion and Culture reflects on Pope Francis's legacy

Catholics around the world, and of course in the Tri-State area, continue to mourn the loss of Pope Francis, who died earlier today at the age of 88. 

The Vatican said Francis died of a stroke that put him into a coma and led to heart failure. 

David Gibson is the director of Fordham University's Center on Religion and Culture. In his previous life as a journalist he wrote several books, including "The Coming Catholic Church: How the Faithful Are Shaping a New American Catholicism." He talked with WNYC's Sean Carlson more about Pope Francis.
