Pope Francis’ Funeral LIVE: World Leaders Gather In Vatican City | Pope Francis Last Rites LIVE
World leaders began arriving in Rome on Friday ahead of Pope Francis’s funeral this weekend—a historic occasion that, while more modest than traditional papal rites, remains deeply significant. Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday at the age of 88 due to heart failure following a stroke, was beloved for his humility and dedication to the marginalized.
The death of a pope marks a profound moment for the Catholic Church, typically followed by elaborate rituals and the selection of a new pontiff. However, Pope Francis had requested a simpler farewell: a wooden coffin and a burial in an unmarked grave.
Despite the toned-down ceremony, the funeral will host around 170 foreign dignitaries, including many heads of state, turning it into a major political event. With leaders from around the world in attendance—many of whom have conflicting viewpoints—the gathering may also bring moments of diplomatic tension.
