Pope Francis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio) has led the Roman Catholic Church since 2013, becoming the first Jesuit to hold this position in history.
On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis passed away in the Vatican. According to the Vatican press office, the Pontiff died at the age of 88 in his residence – the Casa Santa Marta.
In recent months, Pope Francis had been experiencing serious health issues. He had recently undergone a lengthy course of treatment at a Roman clinic, where he had been hospitalized with a diagnosis of bilateral pneumonia. Despite doctors' efforts, the Pontiff's condition remained grave.
