7h agoThe legacy Pope Francis leaves behind around the world and here in the Hudson Valley is being felt deeply.
News 12 was outside St. Patrick’s in Yorktown Heights where morning Mass focused on the pontiff who died Monday at age 88.
He is being remembered as a pope who led with mercy, compassion and someone who really listened.
"Go to the people on the margins, he decentered powered, he himself decentered his own power. He paid his own bill in 2013 after he was elected pope,” said Dr. Elena Procario-Foley, professor of Jewish-Catholic studies at Iona University.
Experts say the process for electing a new pope could take days, weeks or even months. But those questions will be answered after a period of mourning.
