Pope Francis died on April 21 at age 88, after a period of illness. His passing has led to mourning amongst Catholics globally and discussions about his potential successors. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who has stepped in during the transitional period, celebrated the Pope's commitment to the Gospel and the marginalized. The election of a new pope will follow established protocols, with voting occurring inside the Sistine Chapel among cardinals under 80. The funeral is scheduled for April 26, as preparations for conclave discussions commence to choose the next leader of the Catholic Church.
"He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised."
"With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."
