Pope Francis, who led the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics for 12 years beginning in 2013, has died at the age of 88, the Vatican announced.

“Pope Francis passed away at 7:35 a.m. this morning, returning to the Father’s home,” Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Vatican’s Secretary of State for the Curia, said in a statement.

“He dedicated his entire life to the service of the Lord and the Church,” Cardinal Farrell added.
