The world responds to the death of Pope Francis: Tributes pour in from around the world

“He was the closest in a long time that seemed to remember that Christ’s love enveloped believer and non-believer. He felt more like Pope John 23rd who made belief real. Sail on Pope Frances with your love of humanity and laughter” – Whoopi Goldberg

“Rest in Peace, Your Holiness Pope Francis. Thank you for being an ally to many of us and speaking up for the marginalized. Your compassion, kindness and humility will always be remembered” – Eva Longoria

John Vincent Calipari, the head basketball coach at the University of Arkansas paid his tributes by posting a tweet on the day Pope Francis passed away.

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) also paid respect to the Pope by holding a moment of silence in memory of the Pope before the kick-off of the Youth League and Women’s Champions League semi-finals and during the men’s cub competition semis that took place on the 29th of April to the first of May.

The King of England Charles III released a message following the death of Pope Francis

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer also expressed his heartfelt condolences

He added, “Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Hs Holiness Pope Francis. His tireless efforts to promote a world that is fairer for all will leave a lasting legacy. On behalf of the people of the United Kingdom, I share my sincerest condolences to the whole Catholic Church.”

A legacy beyond religion

Pope Francis’ influence extended further than the catholic church. His progressive views on climate change, migration, and economic inequality earned him admiration from people of many backgrounds. His humility was seen through his choice of clothing, for example, choosing simpler clothing, and living in a guesthouse rather than an extravagant home. His lifestyle choices made him a symbol of the kind of leadership many long for in difficult times.
