Pope Francis clarified his stance on same-sex couple blessings
Wikipedia has so many articles about Pope Francis! I think they could be merged on the principal article. For instance, there is a long article named "Pope Francis and LGBT topics". It could be included in the principal article. 2804:D84:2280:2400:B045:A59D:D997:FF0D (talk) 00:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is standard practice to have multiple articles on people like Pope Francis. Extremely notable and influential people sometimes require multiple articles to have full encyclopedic coverage. A slightly older example of this is the article Joseph Priestley and Dissent. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:21, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just starting a thread here for discussion based on the notice posted on the article itself (not posted by me). However, I can definitely see why it is posted. The length and detail of the controversies section seems to give undue weight to criticism of a Pope who has not been particularly controversial, except in certain circles.

Why is there no critical section in the article in relation to the theology, and other teachings, of Pope Francis - he is certainly not without critics in the Roman Catholic Church, these critics may be wrong - but to ignore them is not correct for what is supposed to be a reference article. Presently the article reads like a Public Relations handout - even stressing the "humility" of the subject of the article. This sort of praise is very much a matter of opinion. 2A02:C7C:E1BA:CE00:DDF1:C189:C89A:5C03 (talk) 11:32, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Remember also that per Wikipedia:Criticism "criticism" and "controversies" or the like are not favored headings. These sorts of things are better handled according to subject matter not point of view -- in other words a section of Francis' view of theology would also describe notable critiques.

Remove redundant text under International Diplomatic Role -> Russia and Ukraine. The article contains the following:
Later, he described Ukraine as "martyred" and prayed for the victims of Russian aggression, but still did not directly criticize Putin or the Russian government.[493] but still avoided direct criticism of Putin or the Russian government.[494]
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
