Pope Francis, the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, has died at the age of 88, the Vatican announced Monday.
Vatican announces Pope Francis has died at age 88“At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church,″ Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo, said in the announcement. Pope Francis greeted crowds on Sunday, giving the traditional Easter blessing. He appeared from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica after a brief meeting with Vice President JD Vance.
Francis was born in Argentina in 1936 as Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He entered Jesuit school in 1958, and after rising through the ranks — becoming a priest, then the archbishop of Buenos Aires, and finally a cardinal — he became the first Latin American and the first Jesuit pope. He chose his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of the poor — a name he strove to embody throughout his papacy.
