The Vatican announced his death a day after he appeared in a wheelchair at St Peter&#8217;s Square to lead an Easter address in front of thousands of worshipers. The Pope&#8217;s death follows a period of ill-health that saw him spend five weeks in hospital with double pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Services have been held around the world as the word&#8217;s 1.4bn Catholics begin to mark the Pope&#8217;s death, and mourners have started to arrive at the Vatican. Francis, who was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was elected as Pope in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement published by the Vatican early on Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell said: &#8221;This morning at 07:35 local time (05:35 GMT) the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was devoted in service to the Lord and His Church. &#8221;He taught us to live the values \u200b\u200bof the Gospel with fidelity, courage and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalised. &#8221;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis&#8217;s body will be moved to the Chapel of Domus Sanctae Marthae, the Vatican guesthouse where he opted to live after becoming Pope, as opposed to the more lavish papal apartment used by his predecessors.Cardinal Farrell &#8211; who holds the position of camerlengo, the cardinal who oversees the transition to a new Pope &#8211; will be joined by other senior church figures and Francis&#8217;s family later on Monday when he presides over the official confirmation of the pontiff&#8217;s death. Francis will lie in state in St Peter&#8217;s Basilica, where mourners will be able to attend to pay their respects, before a funeral is held, which usually takes place within four to six days after a Pope dies.<\/p>\n<p>The Pope requested that some elements of the elaborate death rites which usually take place after a pontiff&#8217;s death be dispensed with, including using an ornate coffin and displaying his body on a raised platform.Francis&#8217;s death sets in motion the process of selecting a new Pope through an election known as a conclave, which typically takes place 15 and 20 days after a Pope&#8217;s death. The College of Cardinals &#8211; the Church&#8217;s most senior officials &#8211; will be summoned to Rome to take part in the secretive vote. In this case 135 cardinals &#8211; those aged under 80 &#8211; will be eligible to take part.<\/p>\n<p>They will be shut in the Vatican until they reach an agreement, cut off from communicating with the outside world, in a process that can take days. The outcome will set the direction of the Church, possibly for decades. The Pope appointed cardinals from a broader range of geographic and ideological backgrounds than some of his successors, which could make the outcome of the process even more difficult to predict than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cqj42vd1rxlo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/vatican-announces-death-of-pope-francis-aged-88\/\">Vatican announces death of Pope Francis aged 88<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9088,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-139168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-pope-francis","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139168\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
