AI Summary:
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88. His funeral is being held on Saturday in St. Peter's Square. He will then be buried in a simple underground tomb at St. Mary Major Basilica. Pope Francis had a 12-year papacy during which he charmed the world with humility and concern for the poor. But the Argentina-born pope alienated conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change. The death of a pope starts a centuries-old ritual to elect a new one. In the conclave, the cardinals will vote in secret sessions, and the ballots will be burned in a special stove. Francis was known for his simplicity, from the choice of his name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. He chose to live in the Vatican's Domus Santa Marta hotel instead of the Apostolic Palace. In his teachings, he focused on concern for refugees and other marginalized people.
