Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, a day after appearing in St Peter's Square in Vatican City to wish worshippers a happy Easter Sunday.
Earlier this year, he was treated in hospital for five weeks with an infection, but had been discharged.
The Argentinian pontiff, who ushered in a swathe of reforms over his 12-year papacy, symbolised to many an increasingly modern, progressive, and inclusive church.
Niall Paterson is joined by Italian-born Sky News presenter Barbara Serra, who covered the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005 as well as Pope Francis's election in 2013, and is herself a Catholic.
