Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff, has died at age 88 from a cerebral stroke and subsequent heart failure, the Vatican said.

Pope Francis Dies

Pope Francis was recently laid to rest in Rome, with a significant turnout of world leaders attending his funeral at St. Peter's Square. Among those in attendance were President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, drawing a substantial amount of attention. During the ceremony, many reflected on Pope Francis' continued calls for prayers and support for Ukraine, highlighting his outspoken nature on political issues.

Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis was known for addressing significant global issues, echoing the political influence seen in past popes such as Pope John Paul II. He famously confronted U.S. conservatives about mass migration, insisting that building walls is not a Christian approach. This stance drew responses from figures like Donald Trump, who criticized Francis' comments, leading to public exchanges.

As cardinals prepare to elect a new pope, discussions about the impact and influence of Pope Francis' social and political agenda linger. Ukrainian citizens like Olga Vilsanka continue to hope for peace and remember the Pope's dedication to their cause. During the funeral, a meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy was noted as potentially historic, with hopes for joint actions. Shortly after the funeral, President Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin over missile attacks targeting civilians, continuing the international dialogue sparked by the event.



Cómo ayudó el Papa Francisco a Ucrania en su último acto

El Papa Francisco fue enterrado ayer en Roma. Nuestro Chris Livesey tiene nuestro informe. Benedicta tui mulieribus. De todos los líderes mundiales que vienen al funeral del Papa Francisco, nadie suscitó más tensión y emoción que el presidente Donald Trump y el presidente ucraniano Volodymyr Zelensky. ¡Ah! A medida que avanzaba el funeral por el Papa Francisco en la Plaza de San Pedro, nos encontramos con Olga Vilsanka de Ucrania. Siempre decía, por favor, rezad por Ucrania. Por favor, acuérdate de la gente que sufre en Ucrania. El papado siempre ha sido un además de una institución religiosa. El Papa Juan Pablo II la utilizó para hablar contra el comunismo y es ampliamente visto como haber jugado un papel en la caída de la Unión Soviética. Monseñor Karl Kastel, que ha vivido siete papados, dice que Francisco fue igual de franco. No a todo el mundo le gustaba, pero el Presidente de los Estados Unidos o el Presidente de la Federación Rusa o quien fuera, diría lo que pensara era lo correcto para el Papa. En 2016, mientras regresaba de un viaje a México, que significó hablar en contra de los conservadores estadounidenses sobre la migración masiva cuando dijo, Una persona que sólo piensa en construir muros no es cristiana. Entonces el candidato Donald Trump contraatacó. Para un líder religioso cuestionar la fe de una persona es vergonzoso. Francisco y su agenda social sin duda estará en la mente de los cardenales cuando elijan un nuevo Papa el próximo mes. En el pasado reciente, hemos tenido varios casos de papas que también han tenido una enorme influencia política. Todo depende de si se les escucha o no. Es un punto que no se le escapa a Vilsanka de Ucrania. ¿Crees que en la muerte del Papa Francisco, que en este mismo funeral, la paz podría eventualmente llegar? Si Dios quiere. Si Dios quiere. Zelensky dijo que su reunión con Trump podría ser histórica si logran resultados conjuntos. Horas después, mientras el presidente Trump volaba de regreso a EE.UU., en las redes sociales para arremeter contra el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin por disparar misiles contra zonas civiles. Ese fue nuestro Chris Livesay en Roma.
