Today, we bring you a deeply significant and emotional update from the Vatican — Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88." "On Easter Monday, April 21st, 2025, the Vatican officially announced that Pope Francis died peacefully at 7:35 a.m. local time at his residence in Casa Santa Marta. His passing follows a period of declining health, including a recent hospitalization for double pneumonia earlier this year." "Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who serves as the camerlengo, has taken on the role of acting head of the Vatican and will oversee Church operations until a new pope is elected. The Vatican has now entered a traditional nine-day mourning period known as 'novemdiales,' which will conclude with the Pope’s funeral." "As per his wishes, Pope Francis requested a simple wooden coffin and will be laid to rest at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome — a break from tradition, as popes are typically buried beneath St. Peter’s Basilica." "His funeral is expected to take place within the next few days in St. Peter’s Square, where world leaders and millions of faithful followers will gather to pay their final respects. Soon after, a conclave of cardinals will be held — likely within 15 to 20 days — to choose the next leader of the Catholic Church." "Pope Francis will be remembered for his historic and transformative papacy. He championed the rights of the poor, advocated for migrants and social justice, and made major strides in confronting sexual abuse scandals and financial reforms within the Church. Even in his final days, he remained active — delivering an Easter blessing and meeting with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance." "The world is now in mourning as Catholics across the globe reflect on the legacy of a pope who reshaped the modern Church and inspired millions with his humility, compassion, and unwavering faith."
