0:20Now PlayingPope Francis, who encouraged Catholics to embrace a more compassionate view on many issues but found it difficult to close the book on past abuses by clergy, has died. He was 88.
Francis passed away at 7:35 a.m. Monday in Rome, the Vatican said in a statement. He had been hospitalized in Rome in mid-February with bronchitis, which progressed to pneumonia in both lungs — the last in a litany of respiratory and other medical challenges he had faced. On Sunday, he had met with US Vice President JD Vance.
President Donald Trump says he signed an executive order putting US flags at half mast in recognition of the passing of Pope Francis.
"He was a good man," Trump said of the pope, who died on Monday. "He loved the world and it's an honor to do that."
