Remembering Pope Francis’ Impact in Oklahoma and Beyond | EWTN News Nightly

Published April 25

As the Church mourns the passing of Pope Francis, we take a closer look at his impact on the faithful in the United States—especially in Oklahoma. The late Holy Father’s recognition of Blessed Stanley Rother from Oklahoma as a martyr in 2016 was a deeply personal moment for the Catholic community in Oklahoma. That declaration paved the way for the creation of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine, which continues to inspire thousands. Archbishop Paul Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City, reflects on how Pope Francis shaped diocesan leadership and what the Holy Father’s legacy means for the United States. He also shares his reaction to the news of Pope Francis’s passing and his most memorable experiences with the Holy Father.
