The pontiff reminded the Catholic faithful on Wednesday of children suffering from war and hunger, the elderly living in isolation, those fleeing their homelands, people who have lost their jobs and those persecuted for their faith.
French President Emmanuel Macron paid a heartfelt tribute to Pope Francis, describing him as a "man of humility" who stood "alongside the most vulnerable and the most fragile." Macron expressed his condolences to Catholics worldwide, emphasizing the Pope's compassion during times of war and brutality.
The funeral of Pope Francis is set to take place in St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, with numerous world leaders and dignitaries in attendance, including U.S. President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and French President Emmanuel Macron. The ceremony is expected to be the Vatican’s largest single-day event since the funeral of Pope John Paul II two decades ago, potentially drawing over 200,000 attendees.

China’s state-sanctioned Catholic church has branded Pope Francis a “Western stooge” and criticized Vatican–Beijing agreements as threats to national sovereignty. Underground congregations are now pressing for unity despite strict party surveillance, while hardline officials accuse the late pontiff of meddling in Chinese religious policy. Human rights groups condemn the broader crackdown on Christians, even as experts like Michel Chambon praise Francis’s diplomatic reset with Beijing. With the next papal selection looming, Chinese Catholics face a pivotal choice between state control and underground solidarity.

The Second General Congregation of Cardinals convened at the Vatican as the Catholic Church enters the Novemdiales—the ancient nine-day mourning period for the late Pope Francis. Held in the Synod Hall with 103 cardinals present, the meeting began with prayers and preparations for the Church’s transition. A commission of three cardinals was selected to aid the Camerlengo during the sede vacante. Around 20,000 faithful have paid their respects. As the world watches, the path to the next papal election quietly begins in Rome.
