People pray as they pay their respects near a portrait of Pope Francis displayed inside Myeongdong Cathedral on April 22, 2025 in Seoul, South Korea. Pope Francis, the first Latin American and Jesuit pope, died on Easter Monday at the age of 88 at the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta after battling pneumonia and other health issues. His death marks the end of a 12-year papacy characterized by efforts to reform the Church, advocate for the marginalized, and promote inclusivity, and it initiates the traditional process of selecting a new pope.
