I was awakened on the morning of April 21 by a text, stunned out of sleep as I read a note of condolences from a Muslim friend on the passing of Pope Francis. Even in death, Pope Francis was revealing his impact on interreligious relations. Since that moment, I have received dozens of similar messages from Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and members of other religious traditions. “A revered figure of faith and wisdom,” one message read.
