The man the world called 'Pope Francis' died yesterday,  Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta. 

Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican camerlengo, said: “At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church."

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was illegally elected as the 266th Pope, usurping the Chair of Peter, on 13 March 2013.

Pope Francis’s health had been steadily declining in recent months. He had suffered persistent breathing problems through the winter and was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital on February 14 for bronchitis but was then diagnosed with double pneumonia in what was first described as a “complex” then a “critical” medical scenario.

 

He suffered a number of respiratory crises and failures and presented with symptoms of “mild” kidney failure during his hospitalization. Discharged back to the Vatican after 38-days, Francis began a 2-month convalescence as his doctors revealed he nearly lost his life twice in the spring hospitalization.

 

He was last in public on Easter Sunday to give the Urbi et Orbi blessing, but looked notably weak, being barely able to raise his arms and with a particularly strained voice.

 

The Argentinian prelate had led the Catholic Church as Pope since March 13, 2013. He emerged to the world as a surprise successor to Benedict XVI, following the German Pope’s shock resignation in February 2013.\\

 

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was ordained on December 13, 1969 and was raised to become Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires in May 1992, before assuming control of the see in 1998. Created cardinal by Pope John Paul II in February 2001, he served as the vice-president and then president of the episcopal conference of Argentina from 2002 – 2011.

 

In the papal conclave following Benedict XVI’s resignation, Cardinal Bergoglio was elected to the Papal throne on March 13, 2013, at the age of 76.

Illegally elected. The conclave was rigged by the 'St Gallen Mafia' and Benedict XVI was still pope, his 'resignation' being defective and consequently null and void; Jorge Mario Bergoglio being manifestly heretical had earned excommunication.

 

Styled as the “pope of confusion” by commentators, his reign was marked by a rapid diversion from Catholic teaching on numerous issues, with his pronouncements and writings leading to widespread confusion amongst Catholics on topics such as LGBT issues, divorce and “re-marriage,” nature of the priesthood, role of the laity in ecclesial governance, adherence to Tradition, and the permissibility of the traditional Latin Mass.

Indeed, the issues arising from his pontificate do not end here, since they also include the 

• gutting of the Pontifical Academy for Life and re-filling it with supporters of abortion;

 

• the championing of “climate change” and globalist policies;

 

• the promotion of taking abortion-tainted COVID-19 injections as a moral duty;

 

• pushing an irreligious concept of “human fraternity” which was widely accused of rejecting God and subsequently welcomed by Muslims and Freemasons;

 

• being involved in the reported cover-up of a number of high-profile abuse cases, such as Father Marko Ivan Rupnik, Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta, ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick;

 

• remaking the Vatican curia with individuals noted for their rejection of Catholic teaching on numerous points.

 

Pope Francis: A bishop from ‘the ends of the earth’

Announced as the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church on March 13, 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected on just the second day of the conclave. Many have argued that his election was a result of a longstanding and coordinated plan by the secretive St. Gallen group or mafia. (More details on his election are provided further below in this obituary).

 

 Addressing the crowds in St. Peter’s Square on the evening of his ascent to the throne, Francis avoided using the term “Pope,” presenting himself instead as “bishop” of Rome. “You know that it was the duty of the Conclave to give Rome a Bishop. It seems that my brother Cardinals have gone to the ends of the earth to get one… but here we are… I thank you for your welcome. The diocesan community of Rome now has its Bishop.”

Dilexit Nos, on the Sacred Heart.

 

Pope Francis also penned 74 Motu Proprios, 92 Apostolic Letters, 7 Apostolic Exhortations, His appearance on the balcony of St. Peter’s was notable for its departure from tradition: gone were the Pope’s red shoes which symbolized martyrdom; gone were the Papal pectoral cross and ring, with Bergoglio choosing his own instead; gone also was the traditional red mozzetta.

 

He also dispensed with the usual order of a papal blessing, asking the assembled crowd to pray for him, before imparting a blessing.

 

The evening was a revelatory one, with many commentators already remarking on the new Pope’s disregard for customs.

 

He created over 140 cardinals in nine consistories through his reign, and issued well over 3,500 documents, texts or speeches. Among this number were 4 Encyclicals: 

 

• Lumen Fidei, largely written by Pope Benedict and finished by Francis; 

 

• Fratelli Tutti, which expounded a form of irreligious fraternity dubbed as “blasphemous”; 

 

• Laudato Si’, which advocated for “climate change” measures and formed the basis for his future ecological writings and interventions; 

 

• 20 Apostolic Constitutions, and one Papal Bull. Francis made over 40 official papal trips outside of Italy and visited 65 countries as of  September 12, 2024.BREAKING: Pope Francis has died aged 88 - LifeSite

The world's 1.3 billion Catholics must now pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, for her intercession before the judgment seat of Christ, for His mercy on his soul; that the countless prayers already offered by millions during his illness will have obtained for Bergoglio his repentance and conversion.
