U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky has shared a statement about the passing of Pope Francis. On April 21, 2025, McConnell expressed his condolences alongside his wife, Elaine.
In the statement, McConnell commented, “Elaine and I join people of faith around the world in mourning the passing of his holiness, Pope Francis. From the beginning of his papacy, the Holy Father invited Christians from every walk of life to more fully embrace the call to care for the vulnerable, including the unborn and the poorest among us."
McConnell highlighted the Pontiff's influence, noting, "He reminded us by word and deed that we are all called to lives of faithful service." He honored Pope Francis for his contributions and influence within the Catholic Church during his papacy. McConnell concluded by reflecting on the Pope’s impact: "Now, as the shepherd of more than a billion Roman Catholics reaps his eternal reward, we give thanks for a life of witness to the truth: Our hearts are restless until they rest in God.”
