77 WHEREAS, People the world over are mourning the loss of Pope
88 Francis, who passed away on April 21, 2025, at the age of 88,
99 shortly after offering his Easter Sunday blessing to the faithful
1010 gathered in the Vatican's Saint Peter's Square; and
1111 WHEREAS, Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires,
1212 Argentina, on December 17, 1936, Pope Francis was the son of Mario
1313 and Regina Bergoglio, and he was deeply influenced by his
1414 grandmother, Rosa Bergoglio, who had been active in the Catholic
1515 Action movement in Italy before the family emigrated to Argentina;
1616 at age 12, he entered a school run by Salesian priests, who
1717 instilled in him a sense of duty to the poor, and he accepted his
1818 calling at the age of 16; he was ordained as a Jesuit priest in 1969;
1919 and
2020 WHEREAS, Pope Francis was appointed to lead the Jesuit order
2121 in Argentina in 1973; during the "Dirty War" that took place during
2222 the rule of the country's repressive military junta, he quietly
2323 worked to save the lives of many people; he went on to serve in
2424 Germany and then in the Argentine city of Córdoba; in 1992, he was
2525 named auxiliary bishop of the Buenos Aires diocese, and six years
2626 later, he became archbishop; during his time in that role, he helped
2727 relieve the suffering caused by Argentina's economic crisis,
2828 organizing food kitchens, tripling the number of priests assigned
2929 to the slums, and building schools and drug rehabilitation centers;
3030 and
3131 WHEREAS, Named a cardinal in 2001, he became a leading voice
3232 in the church; by the time Pope Benedict XVI stepped down in 2013,
3333 Pope Francis was preparing for retirement; instead, he was elected
3434 pope, becoming the first Jesuit and the first member of the church
3535 from Latin America to serve as pontiff; he was also the first to
3636 choose the name Francis, and like St. Francis of Assisi, he
3737 embraced a humble life of service to the most vulnerable;
3838 demonstrating good humor and an avuncular charm that belied his
3939 steely determination, he became a global voice for justice and
4040 compassion; he took more than 40 trips abroad, many to places long
4141 overlooked, in order to meet with his flock and build interfaith
4242 bridges; at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he offered hope and
4343 consolation via regular video livestreams; he involved Catholics
4444 worldwide in a process of renewal, engaging the laity, welcoming a
4545 variety of opinions, and choosing many cardinals from Latin
4646 America, Asia, and Africa; even as he grew frail and battled ill
4747 health, he continued to travel widely, especially striving to bring
4848 peace to war-torn regions; and
4949 WHEREAS, Now, with the death of this beloved pope, Cardinal
5050 Kevin Farrell of the United States has become acting head of the
5151 Vatican until a new pontiff is elected; born in Ireland, Cardinal
5252 Farrell is a naturalized U.S. citizen and spent many years
5353 ministering in the U.S., particularly as the Bishop of Dallas; he
5454 now holds the position of camerlengo, temporarily overseeing the
5555 day-to-day administration of the Vatican and making arrangements
5656 for the upcoming conclave in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next
5757 pope; and
5858 WHEREAS, Another adopted Texan, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, who
5959 was previously the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of
6060 Galveston-Houston and was recently succeeded by Archbishop Joe S.
6161 Vásquez, will vote in the upcoming conclave for the election of the
6262 new pontiff; and
6363 WHEREAS, Pope Francis was a transformative figure, and he
6464 will remain a tremendous source of inspiration, not only to his
6565 fellow Catholics, but to countless people who have been heartened
6666 by his message of enduring mercy and love; now, therefore, be it
6767 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
6868 Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Pope Francis and
6969 extend deepest condolences to all who mourn his passing.
