Pope Francis was born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He became a Catholic priest in 1969, and in 2013, he was elected as the pope.
In June, Pope Francis released a heartfelt statement on President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's death. In his statement sent to Malacañang, the pontiff said he was saddened after learning of Aquino’s death. The Pope also sent his condolences to Filipinos following the politician’s passing. It can be recalled that Aquino was the president during Francis' visit to the Philippines in 2015.
A year ago, the Vatican denied the speculations that Pope Francis had COVID-19. This is after an online post claimed that the pope has been infected by the deadly virus.
