Catholics in the Bay Area, Around the World Mourn Death of Pope Francis

David DeCosse, director, religious and Catholic ethics, interviewed by KPIX CBS News.

"Pope Francis took away the boundaries we put on God's love. Boundaries about who were supposed to love and whom we are not supposed to love, about migrants, people across borders who we are supposed to love or not supposed to love, even just about the power of God's love to heal us. I think he really wanted us to see that this love is something we sinfully confine in all kinds of ways and we shouldn't. It is greater than that and it's really come to heal us and create a sense of love and community"
