Pope Francis

Dr. Sergio Alfieri said that as soon as he realized the Pope was in a coma, there was nothing he could do to save his life.

In the wake of Pope Francis’ death on Monday, Catholic cardinals from across the world will gather for a conclave in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel to elect the next pope. 

Worshippers shed tears under the rotunda, while others lit candles and knelt at the Stone of the Anointing to honor the pontiff's passing.

Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday at the age of 88, was an "alien presence" at the Vatican, bringing about a revolution of modesty and simplicity within the Catholic Church.

Israel's former ambassador to the Vatican: Deleting the tweet was "a mistake" and "we shouldn't keep score like this after someone's death."

From the very beginning of his papacy, Francis struck a markedly different tone toward the Jewish State than toward its adversaries.

"He tried to bring the church closer with the Jewish people, and he was always a friend, was always open to Jewish people and leaders that had questions or requests," said Rabbi Yosef Kleiner.

Christians in Gaza said that they had "lost a man who fought every day in every direction to protect this small herd of his."

As early as October 2023, the late Pope had highlighted the well-being of the hostages in his remarks on October 7, 2023, and on the ensuing Israel-Hamas war.

The following rituals mark the end of one papacy and the start of the next.
