Pope Francis has died at 88, announced by Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who praised his dedication to service and compassion for the marginalized. Elected in 2013, he was the first pope from South America and became known as the “People’s Pope” for advocating on issues like poverty, climate change, and LGBTQ rights. His recent health struggles included multiple hospitalizations, culminating in a critical condition from pneumonia, yet he continued to inspire many until his passing.
