Jorge Mario Begolgia, the Bishop of Rome, famously known as Pope Francis died at 88 two weeks ago, leaving everyone shocked and mournful. 

Pope Francis was an influential bishop in the Catholic religion. He was well known for his respectful demeanor and caring personality throughout his reign as head of the church. People from all over knew his name and many people who shared his faith were fascinated by the dedication he had to his role, despite his age. 

Begolgia was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the late 1930s. He was the first Latin American to be a Pope. Known for his meek personality and inclusivity, Pope Francis became the face of catholicism everywhere. 

On Easter Monday, the cause of death was identified to be a stroke. This medical emergency was followed by a coma and irreversible cardio-circulatory complications. His history of acute respiratory failure caused by an extreme case of pneumonia, high blood pressure, and multiple bronchiectasis, were investigated to ensure the cause of death was not overlooked. 

His soft humor, high hopes, and consideration for everyone made him who he was and he never forgot his roots. Being from Argentina, he often would visit, make jokes and socialize with his community any time he could. The day before his death he made an appearance kissing babies, giving his blessing and waving at his community in Rome; a prime example of the commitment he had to his people.

People everywhere will continue to honor Pope Francis. Murals painted a while before his death are now becoming  memorials to remember him and all he has done for the Catholic religion. In masses, priests will honor him with a photo framed in the middle of the altar and prayers for his afterlife. 

The whole world was shocked when the news came out of his death and now churches, organizations, and people everywhere are commemorating him for all that he has done for the community as a whole.
