CBS News senior correspondent Norah O'Donnell sat down with Cardinal Michael Czerny of Canada to discuss Pope Francis’ legacy.
Among the things Cardinal Czerny remembered about Pope Francis was his push to help migrants. He saw the late Pope as a person who “recognised the reality of suffering” and on how “he put himself in the shoes of those who suffered, and he asked us all to respond to those needs.” Moreover, the Cardinal highlighted the Pope’s message of the need for migrants and refugees to be “responded to, welcomed to, cared for, protected and finally to be integrated.”
“He will be remembered for helping us to make the problem or the challenge of the migrants and refugees our own and that's what we have to do in order to solve it properly,” the Cardinal adds.
