Pope Francis' death Monday at the age of 88 comes after the Catholic leader experienced a number of health issues in recent years. Francis died at 7:35 a.m. Monday at his residence, the Vatican said.

Pope Francis has died at 88. He was one of the most popular pontiffs in decades, forcing the church to turn its attention back to the poor and disenfranchised and to clean up corrupt Vatican finances.

The plans have come together at the Vatican for Pope Francis’ funeral. The public viewing of the pope will be held in St. Peter’s Basilica after his casket is taken by procession from the Vatican.
