Pope Francis, who led the Catholic Church for over a decade, passed away following complications related to pneumonia and worsening health issues. His leadership emphasized a progressive vision for the Church, focusing on environmental concerns and refugee advocacy. In remembrance, global tributes poured in, including plans for Paris' Eiffel Tower to darken and the bells of Notre-Dame Cathedral ringing 88 times to honor his 88 years of life. Political leaders, including Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, highlighted his unique contributions and heartfelt legacy.
"Pope Francis has returned to the father's house. This news deeply saddens us, because we are losing a great man and a great shepherd."
"Paris' Eiffel Tower will go dark on Monday evening, in tribute to Pope Francis, as a mark of respect for his commitment to ecology and welcoming refugees."
