Camerlengo Cardinal Kevin Farrell said: \u201cDearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7.35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHis entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe taught us to live the values of the Gospel with faithfulness, courage, and universal love, especially for the poorest and most marginalized.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite, merciful love of God, One and Tribune.\u2033<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite not receiving compensation since taking office as Pope in 2013, Francis\u2019 net worth was estimated to be close to $16 million at the time of his death, according to The Mirror.<\/p>\n

During his tenure as Pope, Francis made a number of moves that undoubtedly demonstrated his thrift.<\/p>\n

Francis was entitled to a staggering $385,000 annually, which could now be given to a family member, paid to a foundation, or even given back to the church.<\/p>\n

In spite of his enormous wealth, Francis dedicated his life to helping the less fortunate, notably the homeless in Buenos Aires, where he was born and raised.<\/p>\n

In addition, even though several of his predecessors lived in the Papal Palace, the Pope chose not to do so.<\/p>\n

Francis would instead reside in a more conventional type of housing.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance is among the many tributes that have been sent in since the Vatican revealed Francis\u2019 tragic death.<\/p>\n

Less than twenty-four hours before the Pope\u2019s death, on Easter Sunday, April 20, Vance, a convert to Catholicism, visited with Francis.<\/p>\n

This morning, the vice president paid his respects to Francis on Twitter.<\/p>\n
