King Charles is very sad about Pope Francis's death. He thanked the Pope for caring about people with different beliefs. The King met Francis earlier this month during a trip to Italy. They talked about helping the planet. Charles loved how the Pope connected faith with protecting nature.
The Pope worked hard to keep church members united despite their differences. Last year, he let priests bless same-sex couples, which many Catholics thought was a good step forward. Queen Camilla joined Charles in sending sympathy to everyone mourning Francis. They remembered their meetings with him fondly.
British leaders also shared kind words about the Pope. Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised him for standing up for poor people. The Pope often asked for peace in places like Gaza. He worried about both Palestinians and rising antisemitism. Francis also wanted Russia and Ukraine to find a lasting peace agreement.
Many people will miss his voice speaking for human dignity. Cardinal Vincent Nichols said we must carry forward what Pope Francis taught us. Archbishop Stephen Cottrell called him a holy man who served others like Jesus did.
