Pray for the soul of Pope Francis who passed away earlier today. Please pray for the Church in this time as well.
At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace, our Holy Father, Pope Francis.
Pope Francis focused a great deal on mercy and we should all take that to heart. He also sowed a great deal of confusion during his papacy. I pray that the next pope brings us all together.
I do have to show you this ridiculous media bias in reporting on the death of Francis. These two headlines from CNN:
CNN Headline #1: Biden Remembers Pope Francis as “the People’s Pope” and “one of the most consequential leaders of our time.”
It’s accompanied by this pic:

CNN Headline #2: Political Leaders Who Previously Clashed with Francis Express Condolences for His Death.
No pic. Under this, it talks about JD Vance and Trump “clashing” over immigration. No word on Pope Francis and Biden “clashing” over the tiny little issue of LIFE.

Amen.
