🕊️ They Said He Wanted Simplicity. What the Vatican Is Planning Now May Surprise Everyone

🕯️ On Easter Sunday, he smiled at the crowd. Less than 24 hours later, he was gone.

Today, the Vatican has confirmed the funeral details for Pope Francis — and they reveal a farewell unlike any we've seen before.

📍 A Farewell Set for History

The funeral of Pope Francis will take place on Saturday, April 26, at 10:00 AM local time, in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City.

💬 It will follow a simplified rite — just as the Pope requested. There will be no triple coffin, no elaborate procession. His body will be transferred to St. Peter’s Basilica on April 23 for public viewing.

Instead of the usual pomp, this farewell carries the quiet weight of humility.

🙏 The Pope Who Chose Less

Francis, 88, died of a stroke and heart failure, following weeks of fragile health.

🇻🇦 In another break from tradition, he asked to be buried not beneath the Basilica, like most Popes — but in Santa Maria Maggiore, a quieter Roman church where he often went to pray.

🧭 For many faithful, this choice says more than any eulogy ever could.

💔 Mourned Around the World

Tributes have poured in from across the globe — leaders, believers, and people far outside the Church.

From Africa to Argentina, a single question echoes:
➡️ What kind of Church comes next?

🧠 A Legacy Bigger Than Rome

Pope Francis will be remembered not only as the first Latin American Pope — but as a reformer, a challenger, a man who walked into prisons, spoke with the poor, and opened doors others had shut.

🌍 He spoke of climate change, refugees, LGBTQ+ rights, and financial abuse in the Church.
He was loved. He was criticized. But he never stopped moving forward.

🕯️ He Planned His Own Farewell: The Radical Simplicity of Pope Francis’ Last Request He knew death was coming. And when it did, he had already written the script. Pope Francis didn’t want a golden coffin. No marble tomb. Not even the Apostolic Palace. He wanted something far more shocking: Silence. Simplicity. A return to the roots of faith. 📖 A Funeral Unlike Any Before In April 2024, a full year before his death, Francis personally approved a new version of the Ordo Exsequiarum Romani Pontificis — the official rite of papal funerals. The changes? His body was to be moved immediately to a chapel, not kept for ceremony No majestic procession No power parade Just prayers and faith , centered on Christ — not the Pope Archbishop Diego Ravelli, the Master of Apostolic Ceremonies, said it plainly: “This is not the funeral of a leader. It’s the farewell of a disciple.” 🧠 The Message Behind the Request In life, Francis refused palaces. In death, he refused titles. He knew...

 Image:ITV 😳 “Back Off, Chris” – JoJo Siwa Shuts Down Late-Night CBB Bedroom Moment What started as a quirky friendship is now raising serious eyebrows — and JoJo Siwa is clearly done playing along . In a previously unseen clip from Celebrity Big Brother UK , fans watched as Chris Hughes — shirtless and unfiltered — approached JoJo’s bed, asking for cuddles, showing off his muscles, and making remarks that some viewers are calling “creepy” .

Blunt, uncomfortable, and completely necessary . 🛏️ The Clip Everyone's Talking About Late into the night, after the ITV broadcast ended, Chris was caught on livestream footage hovering near JoJo’s bed . He had just taken off his shirt and flexed in the mirror above their beds, waking JoJo in the process. “Oh my God,” she exclaimed, clearly caught off guard — and unimpressed. Chris, 32, continued to flirt, despite JoJo, 21, being visibly uncomfortable and in a public relationship with Kath Ebbs. 😬 From Fun to Un...
