Fr. Rocky joins NewsNation to discuss the Pope’s passing and the upcoming election

Fr. Rocky joined NewsNation to reflect on the passing of Pope Francis, offering heartfelt insight into the Holy Father’s final days. He noted that the Church had been praying for Pope Francis over the past two months as his health declined, and yet, in true Franciscan spirit, the Pope gave of himself to the very end—appearing in St. Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday to bless the faithful and be among his spiritual children.

Fr. Rocky described Pope Francis as a man of profound humility and mercy, one who lived the papacy not with grandeur, but with simplicity and service. His final public act was a testament to his life: a shepherd among his people, pouring himself out in love until his last breath.
