Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, marking the end of a historic papacy.

As the first Latin American pope and a champion of the poor, Pope Francis sought to steer the Catholic Church into a more inclusive, socially conscious direction - all while navigating deep divisions within the institution.

His death comes just a day after making a rare public appearance on Easter Sunday, following a lengthy battle with pneumonia.

On The Big Story, Nadiah Koh speaks to Dr Michel Chambon, Research Fellow, National University of Singapore, to discuss more about the legacy he has left behind.
