🕊️ Pope Francis Dies at 88 — A BETTR Legacy of Unity, Compassion, and Reform VATICAN CITY — April 21, 2025 – Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, passed away early Easter Monday at the age of 88. His death, confirmed by the Vatican’s Camerlengo, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, marks the end of a historic 12-year papacy that reshaped global perceptions of the Catholic Church. Appointed as the 266th pope in 2013, Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and a champion of progressive values, often focusing on issues like climate change, poverty, tech ethics, LGBTQ+ rights, and spiritual renewal in a digital age. Despite health setbacks—including pneumonia and kidney failure earlier this year—Francis delivered his final public blessing on Easter Sunday. He died peacefully the following morning at his residence in Casa Santa Marta. 🌍 Global Reactions Pour In Leaders from around the world expressed condolences: French President Emmanuel Macron praised Francis’s “humility and advocacy for the vulnerable.” EU President Ursula von der Leyen called him “a spiritual beacon beyond faith lines.” Italy declared a national day of mourning, and Serie A postponed matches in his honor. 🕯️ A Time for Reflection and Renewal With the Vatican now in sede vacante, a new papal conclave is set to begin between May 6–11, 2025. 135 cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope—one who will be tasked with continuing the spiritual, social, and technological conversations Pope Francis boldly opened. Francis leaves behind a global movement of believers and skeptics alike, united by a shared respect for his message of love over division, faith over fear, and purpose over politics. 🔎 #PopeFrancis #VaticanNews #BETTRNewswire #CatholicChurch #Faith #Legacy #Conclave2025 #PopeDies #JesuitPope #BETTRFaith #GlobalUnity 📰 Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/pope-francis-dead-obituary-2025-4 https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2025-04/pope-francis-dies-on-easter-monday-aged-88.html ––– 📢 BETTR is where history is documented with integrity and reach. ✅ Join Free or unlock premium access with BETTR+ for just $3/month. 🌐 www.bettrsm.com 📅 Posted: April 21, 2025 📞 Contact: (516) 586-0660 📧 Email: contact@bettr.community

Trump Easter 2025 Cold Open Was Actually Hilarious — And Trump Should Be the First to Laugh Let’s be real — Saturday Night Live hasn’t been worth watching in years. Most of us tuned out after the golden era. But credit where it’s due… James Austin Johnson just delivered the best Trump impression I’ve ever seen in their Easter 2025 Cold Open. And yeah, I said ever. I’m sure Trump, being the alpha of alphas, knows how to take a joke. If you’re the President (or aiming to be again), you should be able to laugh at yourself — especially when the impression is this damn good. Not everything has to be serious. Sometimes, even the lion can smile. #Trump #SNL #JamesAustinJohnson #Comedy #ColdOpen #Easter2025 #PoliticsAndParody #BETTR 🔗 Watch it here: https://youtu.be/FnXLjHtfAIU
