But the Vatican says, made the announcement that he passed away suddenly at 7.35 this morning. The Vatican's Cardinal, Kevin Farrell,

said, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and his church. But as I said, he was starting to make more public appearances in his convalescence. In fact, he made an appearance yesterday at Easter Mass.

You know, he was still quite breathless in his recovery from this double pneumonia disease. So he hadn't been able to speak very much publicly. But the message that he had at this Easter Mass, in some ways, this is his last message. And this, in some ways, really went to the heart of what his papacy was about.
