梵蒂冈宣布教宗方济各21日辞世，享寿88岁。方济各辞世前一天现身向信众送上复活节祝福，还接见了美国副总统范斯。范斯也在稍早发文哀悼方济各逝世。
范斯的X贴文写道：「我刚刚得知教宗方济各辞世。我对全世界数百万名爱戴他的基督徒表达深切慰问。我很开心昨天见到他，尽管他显然病得很重。我会永远记得他在新冠肺炎疫期爆发初期发表了以下布道。真的非常美。」

范斯文末附上方济各2020年3月27日的布道内容网址。
I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him.
I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days…
