Who Is Cardinal Farrell, The Camerlengo And A Key Figure In The Papal Transition?
Monday, 21 April 2025 () By Hannah Brockhaus
Following the death of Pope Francis, an Irish-American cardinal is playing a leading role in overseeing Vatican affairs until the election of a new pope.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell is a key figure in the papal succession because of his appointment in 2019 as the camerlengo of the apostolic chamber.
Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, the Vatican has announced.
The pontiff made his final public appearance yesterday, where he briefly greeted crowds in St Peter’s Square to mark Easter Sunday.
In a statement, Cardinal Kevin Farrell said: "At 7.35am this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and His Church.”
His death comes after a recent hospitalisation for bronchitis treatment, where he suffered from pneumonia in both lungs. Report by Brooksl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
JD Vance, the U.S. Vice President, met Pope Francis on Easter Sunday. Just hours later, the world was shocked to learn the Pope had passed away at the age of 88.
Was it just a tragic coincidence… or is there more to the story than we’re being told?
This video breaks down the timeline, the online outrage, and the bizarre conspiracy theories flooding the internet right now.

At the White House Easter Egg Roll, U.S. President Donald Trump took a light-hearted jab at President Joe Biden, referencing the viral 2022 moment when a staffer in an Easter Bunny costume interrupted Biden mid-sentence. While addressing the crowd, Trump praised Pope Francis for his recent Easter message, combining solemnity with satire. The crowd responded with laughter as Trump said, “At least this year, no bunny is jumping in to save the moment.” The playful remark has since gained traction online, sparking both amusement and debate.
