Fox News
Pope Francis died on Monday, April 21, the day after Easter, at age 88. Faith leaders from a variety of denominations and locations shared insights and thoughts on his legacy.
Dr. Alex McFarland, youth, religion and culture expert, is the author of more than 20 books. He told Fox News Digital on Monday morning, "Christians everywhere, regardless of affiliation, should extend loving condolences and prayers for Catholic believers who are mourning the loss of Pope Francis. Belief in the Triune God and in Christ, the Son, unites us (I John 5:1), along with so many other core truths of the Christian faith. Let us unite in prayer for the Catholic Church to be clearly led at this time by God’s Holy Spirit and His Word." "No one criticized him for not speaking from the heart." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle at Fox News Digital.
McFarland is director of worldview for Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, Colorado, and co-hosts the "Truth and Liberty" TV broadcast. He is heard live daily on 200-plus stations of the American Family Radio Network.
