Vatican announces death of Pope Francis aged 88

Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, died at the age of 88.

Cardinal Kevin Farrrell said in a statement published by Vatican on a telegram channel, “This morning, local time (05:35 GMT) has returned to my father’s house.

His death appeared in the St. Peter Square in Vatican on Sunday and prayed for “Happy Easter” for thousands of worshipers.

Born in Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina, the Pope Francis was discharged from the hospital for five weeks after the treatment of dual pneumonia last month.

Praise around the world has been pouring out. The acting hall of the British Church, Archbishop of York, described him as “a holy man of God.”

Stephen Cottrell said in a statement: “The whole life and ministry of Francis did not come from us, but focuses on Jesus coming to serve.

The US Vice President JD Vance, who met the Pope on Easter Sunday, told his “heartfelt” Christians.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Pope Francis said, “It is always on one side of the vulnerable.” Dick Schoof Dutch prime minister said Pontif was in “people of everyone.”

The Pope’s last release was seen in a wheelchair that shakes from the Balcony of St. Peter’s Cathedral on Easter Sunday.

“Dear brothers and sisters, happy Easter,” he said.

He said in a blessing of Easter, delivered by the clergy that “there may be no peace without respect for freedom of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and respect for others’ views.”

“Great thirst for death, how great thirst for the murder of many fierce conflicts in other areas of the world?”

The church’s rule will now be handled by the Cardinals University, the most senior official until the new pope is selected. Currently, there are 252 Catholics, and 138 of them are eligible to vote for the new pope.

They will be summoned to meetings in the Vatican, as the election is known.

The Pope has been having difficulty in health in recent months and spent five weeks in the hospital with pneumonia in both lungs.

While in the hospital, he published two very important episodes of his “life at risk”, according to one of the doctors.

At the age of 21, he removed some of the lungs and suffered a lot of health problems during his life.

Francis’s Pope predicted many of the first, and he did not stop introducing reforms to the Catholic Church, but became popular among traditionalists.

He was the first Bi European pope for centuries after Gregory III from Syria, who died in 741.

He was also the first Jesus to be elected to St. Peter’s throne. The Jesuits historically looked at Roman doubt.
