Pope Francis’s death on Monday launches the centuries-old Catholic ritual of mourning and selecting a new leader of the church.
Bells rang early Monday to announce the death of Francis, who died at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta after a long series of health complications stemming from a chronic lung disease.
Francis is the last sitting head of the Vatican to die in 20 years, since Pope John Paul II in 2005. Former Pope Benedict, who died in 2022, resigned in 2013, which led to the election of Francis in the conclave.
The process of finding a new pope is wrought with tradition. Here's what you should know about the papal succession.
