Pope Francis funeral goes back to basics
The Vatican just shared that Pope Francis has died. When this happens, the Church must choose a new leader. Most popes serve until death, though some step down early. Church rules make it impossible to remove a pope - they must die or quit. Cardinal Kevin Farrell takes charge after the pope dies. He follows a thick guidebook about papal funerals. First, he calls out "Jorge Mario Bergoglio" three times. If no answer comes, death becomes official. Next, they break the Fisherman's Ring to show that the Pope's authority has ended. Workers seal off the papal living quarters for protection. The public learns about a pope's death when St. Peter's bell rings once for each year of his life. This didn't happen when Benedict XVI left office...
Pope Francis funeral keeps it simple at St Mary Major
Pope Francis's funeral plans were much simpler than those of earlier popes. He chose a basic wooden coffin with zinc lining instead of the traditional three nested coffins made from cypress, lead, and oak. The pope skipped the old custom of having the body sit on a raised platform called a catafalque for public viewing in St Peter's Basilica. Visitors will say goodbye to him with his body remaining inside the open coffin. Francis broke another long tradition with his burial location. He picked the Basilica of St Mary Major as his final resting place, making him the first pope in over 100 years to be buried outside Vatican grounds. This basilica stands as one of four major papal churches in Rome. His decisions reflect his lifelong...
How Pope Francis Got His Name
Pope Francis was born Jorge Bergoglio in Argentina on December 17, 1936. He became the head of the Catholic Church on March 13, 2013, after Pope Benedict XVI stepped down. He made history as the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit pope, and the first from outside Europe since the 700s. Before leading the global church, he served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. People knew Francis for living simply - he chose a small guesthouse instead of the fancy papal palace. He cared deeply about helping those in need and protecting our environment. Francis wanted the church to welcome everyone, especially people who felt left out. He worked to fix problems with abuse in the church, though some praised his efforts and others criticized...
Malawi Passport Fiasco Exposes Fraud Risk
Malawi's government recently took back a diplomatic passport from Nigerian tech businessman Dozy Mmobuosi because of fraud claims. The government gave him this passport after he promised to build homes for people affected by Cyclone Freddy. This happened when President Chakwera named former Presidents Joyce Banda and Bakili Muluzi as ambassadors for helping storm victims. Mmobuosi said he would construct 100 houses for those in need. Many people wonder why officials gave him a Malawian passport instead of just a work visa that would let him keep his Nigerian citizenship. The United States raised concerns about Malawi passports this March, putting them on hold. Malawi joined countries like Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Sudan on a watch list...
