Summary
Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, a day after appearing in the Vatican’s St Peter's Square to wish worshippers a happy Easter Sunday. <br /> <br />Earlier this year, he was treated in hospital for five weeks with an infection, but had been discharged. <br />The Argentinian pontiff, who ushered in a swathe of reforms over his 12-year papacy, symbolised to many an increasingly modern, progressive, and inclusive church. <br /> <br />Niall Paterson is joined by Italian-born Sky News presenter Barbara Serra, who covered the death of Pope John Paul II for Sky News in 2005, as well as Pope Francis's election in 2013, and is herself a Catholic. <br /> <br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Editor: Philly Beaumont
