What Happens When a Pope Dies?
- Details
- By Carmel Communications
ROSWELL, Ga. -- The death of a pope is a turning point for the Roman Catholic Church and for all people around the globe. Now that Pope Francis has passed, the Catholic Church stands at a crossroads.
As the faithful navigate a period of mourning for St. Peter’s successor, attention now turns to the controversies that marked Pope Francis’ pontificate and the challenges that await the next pope. Pope Francis was a figure of considerable change and debate within the Church. His efforts to modernize the Church’s approach to various issues sparked both approval and dissent.
Controversies surrounding the Latin Mass, for example, intensified, especially after his 2021 motu proprio, “Traditionis Custodes,” which imposed restrictions on its celebration. Millions of Catholics who wished to preserve the indult, introduced by Pope John Paul II and given even wider permissions by Pope Benedict XVI, voiced their concerns, feeling their liturgical preferences were being marginalized. Others, however, applauded the move as a necessary step toward unity.
Terror Spreads in Nigeria as Killing Sprees Spike against Christians

It didn’t matter how soundly she slept, Salamatu would wake up at 2 a.m. every night — her body remembering what her mind wished she could forget. It had been that same hour, months earlier, when Boko Haram stormed into her village, rewriting her future forever.
For Salamatu, terror was a way of life. In an earlier wave of violence, the jihadists had swarmed her Nigerian church, shooting the pastor in cold blood. Then, she says quietly, they came for her family. “My husband told me we should pray,” Salamatu remembers of that horrible night. “We said a short prayer and then ‘Amen.’ As soon as we said ‘Amen,’ we heard people pulling at the handles of our gate.” Quickly, her husband ushered her, the children, and grandchildren upstairs. “Don’t cry,” he told them. “Don’t make a noise — not even if you hear gunshots.” He walked outside to face the armed men, and it was the last time she saw him alive.
Presidential Message on Holy Week, 2025
- Details
- By The White House
The White House releases the following statement from President Donald J. Trump:
This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.
Beginning with Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating in the Paschal Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, followed by Good Friday, and reaching its pinnacle in the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night. This week is a time of reflection for Christians to memorialize Jesus’ crucifixion—and to prepare their hearts, minds, and souls for His miraculous Resurrection from the dead.

Theme Calls America to ‘Pour Out to the God of Hope and Be Filled’

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For 74 years, Americans have poured out their prayers to God in response to the proclamation established by public law and issued by our President. Harkening back to our Founding Fathers’ calls for national prayer to seek divine wisdom and guidance, our nation has continually turned to the God of Hope through every tragedy and triumph in our history.
The 2025 National Day of Prayer theme is a call to stand on this foundation: “Pour Out to the God of Hope and Be Filled” inspired by the faithful prayer of our theme verse, Romans 15:13 NASB — “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
