“Pope Francis has died, the Vatican announced on Monday, ending a groundbreaking pontificate that sought, however haltingly, to reshape the Roman Catholic Church into a more inclusive institution,” the New York Times reports.
Wall Street Journal: “He was openly political, urging grassroots activists around the world to bridge the gap between rich and poor while calling on wealthier countries to better protect the environment. As Western politicians moved to close their borders to refugees, Francis advocated for them and other migrants.”
“In February 2025, he criticized President Trump’s plan for mass deportations.”
Washington Post: “Vice President J.D. Vance was the last known world official to meet Pope Francis before his death Monday, doing so after weeks of speculation about whether the pope — with whom Vance had not seen eye to eye on immigration policy — would welcome him during a trip to Rome.”
