Pope Francis, a reformer from Argentina who rattled the Catholic Church's traditionalists and inspired progressives by reaching out to gay people and championing the rights of immigrants and the poor, has died at 88, the Vatican announced this morning. Francis succeeded retired Pope Benedict XVI as the 266th pontiff in 2013, becoming the first Jesuit and non-European to hold the church's highest office in more than 1,000 years. His body will be put on display in an open coffin in St. Peter's Basilica, and his successor will be chosen during a conclave of cardinals in strict seclusion at the Vatican. |
