This week on the final episode of the academic year for the Global Current, our analysts Ava Lynch and Riely Gonzalez are covering the passing of Pope Francis. We discuss his journey to becoming the first South American Pope, including significant moments in his history of being a priest in Argentina. Additionally, we recognize the lasting impact he has made on the international community through his diplomatic work and the reforms he pushed through regarding the Catholic Church. Our news briefer, Nadia Chernoff highlights a 72-hour ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, a car-ramming attack in Vancouver, and the symbolic flag trade in the disputed South China Sea.
