Death of Pope Francis

Pope Francis has died a day after he delivered blessings for Easter Sunday for the many who packed Saint Peter's Square. The Pope, the first pontiff from the Americas, was 88 and was in ill health in recent months. Francis is pictured here in Dublin's Phoenix Park during a visit to Ireland in August, 2018. There will be more coverage, including reaction to the passing of Francis, later today. RollingNews.ie photo.
