Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, the Vatican has announced.
The pontiff made his final public appearance yesterday, where he briefly greeted crowds in St Peter’s Square to mark Easter Sunday.
In a statement, Cardinal Kevin Farrell said: "At 7.35am 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 His Church.”
His death comes after a recent hospitalisation for bronchitis treatment, where he suffered from pneumonia in both lungs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

U.S President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time offering asylum to white South African refugees fleeing what he calls “genocide.” But the move has sparked outrage and raised questions about hypocrisy as Trump continues his tough stance on immigration, particularly toward Black and Hispanic migrants. As the media focuses on the controversial land expropriation in South Africa, many are now calling out the double standard in U.S. immigration policy.

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.”
World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?

Pope Leo XIV was officially vested with the pallium and the Fisherman’s Ring during his inauguration Mass in St. Peter’s Square, marking the formal start of his papacy. These ancient symbols of papal authority represent the Pope’s role as the shepherd of the Catholic Church and successor of Saint Peter. The ceremony, witnessed by world leaders and thousands of pilgrims, was rich in tradition and solemnity. The emblems signify unity, humility, and the Pope’s spiritual commitment to guiding over 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide through faith and service.
