Pope Francis dies: The Pope breathed his last at the age of 88 after a prolonged illness. Known for his progressive views and deep compassion, the Pope had been a transformative figure for the Church and the world.
Pope Francis died at the age on 88 on Monday. It was announced by Cardinal Kevin Ferrell — the Vatican camerlengo. “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,″ Farrell said in the announcement. Francis breathed his last after a prolonged illness.
He was recently admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he was undergoing treatment for a severe lung infection. The illness had reportedly begun affecting his kidneys, with early signs of renal complications surfacing in recent days. His health had been a concern in recent months, and the Church had been closely monitoring his condition. Pope Francis had been hospitalised at the same facility earlier in 2021, where he spent 10 days recovering from a colon surgery.
