	Description:		Pope Francis has died at the age of 88. The Vatican announced he died of a stroke at his Santa Maria residence – almost a month after a five-week stay in hospital battling pneumonia. Elected on March 13 2013, for 12 years he served as the leader of the world’s 1 point 4 billion Catholics, and was notable for his more liberal and open minded views on Christianity. Today on The Front Page, Bishop Michael Dooley, the Bishop of Dunedin, joins us to talk about Pope Francis’ legacy – and whether Hollywood’s depiction of how to choose the next pontiff is correct.
