The anticipated funeral of Pope Francis is set to attract around 250,000 attendees in Rome, including global leaders like Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, who are holding peace talks on Ukraine. Irish President Michael Higgins noted the Pope's dedication to the vulnerable and his advocacy for global poverty relief. The atmosphere is heavy with reflection on Francis's leadership in humanitarian efforts and his calls for peace during his papacy. Insights into the forthcoming papal conclave and the future of the Church, particularly regarding women's roles, are also discussed as the world watches closely.
"As President of Ireland, I am pleased to communicate the appreciation of all of the people of Ireland for the life, the documents and the contacts to the most vulnerable all over the world made by Pope Francis, who I was honoured to meet with on five occasions."
"The world was struck by the generosity given by Pope Francis, right until the very last moments of his life, in terms of seeking to embrace, as he put it, all of humanity."
