Pope

Dr. Sergio Alfieri said that as soon as he realized the Pope was in a coma, there was nothing he could do to save his life.

In the wake of Pope Francis’ death on Monday, Catholic cardinals from across the world will gather for a conclave in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel to elect the next pope. 

Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday at the age of 88, was an "alien presence" at the Vatican, bringing about a revolution of modesty and simplicity within the Catholic Church.

Many in the Jewish community felt that the Vatican, which had once pledged never to stand aside when Jews were threatened, failed to condemn a group that openly calls for the annihilation of Jews.

Francis, originally from Argentina, was the first Catholic pontiff from the Americas and began his career as a Jesuit priest in Argentina.

The 88-year-old pontiff is gradually making more public appearances as he recovers from the biggest health crisis in his 12 years in the role.

The pope's official nurse pleaded with doctors to ensure that they did not stop his treatment despite significant risks.

Pope Francis approved a new three-year Vatican reform plan, pushing forward with change despite his ongoing health battle.

Recent updates from Vatican officials indicated a gradual improvement in the Pope's health.

Attributed to Saint Malachy, the book predicts Francis will be the last pope.
