Francisco Lindor's wife shares Pope Francis’ powerful quote about Christian ‘hypocrisy’ in wake of his death

Francisco Lindor's wife, Katia, shared a powerful message from the former head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis. On Monday, the Vatican announced the news of Pope Francis’s death, triggering an outpouring of support and tributes.

Francis was renowned for his support of the poor and disadvantaged and often voiced his views against social and economic inequality.

Katia shared one of his most popular quotes about Christianity on her Instagram story:

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

The Vatican revealed that Pope Francis died due to a stroke that led to a coma and eventually resulted in heart failure. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was elected the Pope of the Catholic Church on March 13, 2013.

Katia Lindor, meanwhile, is a religious person and recently expressed her gratitude to God after welcoming her son, Koa. She shared a heartfelt Instagram post captioned:

“3.30.2025—The last time. The final home birth. A chapter closing. And with it comes the bittersweetness of it all—the deep gratitude for having had this sacred experience three times, and the quiet relief in knowing this part of my journey is complete.”

“...I stand here, in awe of it all. In awe of birth. In awe of motherhood. In awe of the woman I have become. And above all else, profoundly grateful—to God and to my support system for holding me, for lifting me, for standing by my side through it all. 💛”
