The Vatican has officially announced the passing of Pope Francis. He had recently survived a serious bout of double pneumonia.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, stated that the pontiff died at 7:35 a.m. on Easter Monday.

Speaking at the Casa Santa Marta, Farrell said: “Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.

“At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church.

“He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized.

“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.”
