Pope Francis Funeral Marks Historic Shift in Rituals: Multilingual Prayers Break Tradition | Vatican
In a powerful and symbolic farewell, Pope Francisās funeral introduced a historic change to long-standing papal rites.
For the first time in the history of papal funerals, the Prayer of the Faithful was delivered in six languagesāincluding a groundbreaking addition that reflected Pope Francisās global outreach and deep commitment to inclusivity.
From simplified funeral rites to multilingual participation, the ceremony captured the late pontiff's desire for a humbler, more accessible Church.
With over 200,000 mourners filling St.
Peterās Square, this farewell was as much a moment of tradition as it was of transformation ā a ritual echoing the values Pope Francis championed throughout his life.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and āconstructiveā 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 āactive reviewā of such cases, experts say Leoās 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 RussiaāUkraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Popeās willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraineās persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscowās draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.

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 āevery effortā to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been āreduced to famine.ā
World leadersāincluding U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carneyālooked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peterās Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?
