The Vatican has tonight announced that Pope Francis has died.

He was 88 years old. He passed away at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.

Pope Francis has battled ongoing medical challenges, including bilateral pneumonia, for several months.

He made his final public appearance yesterday, April 20.

At 8.07pm tonight New Zealand time, Vatican News quoted Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, as saying: “Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis.

“At 7.35am this morning (local time in Italy), the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father.

“His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church.

“He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalised.

“With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”

Prime Minister and Botany MP Christopher Luxon has tonight paid tribute to Pope Francis.

“I am saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis,” Luxon says.
“A man of humility, his legacy includes an unwavering commitment to the vulnerable, to social justice and to interfaith dialogue.
“My thoughts are with Catholics and all those in New Zealand and around the world who mourn his death.”
Formal messages from the Governor-General and the Prime Minister will be sent to the Holy See and to the Catholic Church in New Zealand.
Luxon has asked that, as is protocol, flags flying on public buildings should be lowered to half-mast tomorrow, Wednesday, and the day of the Pope’s funeral.
