President Donald Trump announced that he and the first lady Melania Trump would be at the funeral of Pope Francis after the Vatican announced early Monday that the Pope had died at the age of 88.
“Melania and I will go to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome,” Trump wrote in a publication about Truth Social. “We hope to be there!”
As Breitbart News previously reported, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had died on Easter Monday after leading the Catholic Church for 12 years.
A papal conclave will meet to select a successor and a new pontiff.
According to Breitbart News:
Now a papal conclave will be convened, even that it looks like the popularized in the Oscar -nominated film last year, starring Ralph Fiennes, is more namely than the process.
The meeting to select a successor of Pope Francis brings together an assembly of cardinals to choose a new spiritual leader based on the strict isolation system to what they submit to the electoral process.
At the beginning of April, Pope Francis reported that “a surprise entry to the duration of the Plaza de San Pedro is a special jubilee mass for patient and health workers.” The appearance was the first “public appearance in the Vatican since it was discouraged” of the hospital two weeks before.
At the end of March, Pope Francis returned to the Vatican after having spent five weeks at the hospital due to an “episode of pneumonia.”
In response to the news of the Pope’s death, Trump sacrificed the condolences through social truth: “Rest in La Paz Pope Francis! God bless him and all who loved him!”
