California Gov. Gavin Newsom mourns death of Pope Francis: "He championed human dignity" ...Middle East

The Vatican announced Pope Francis' death early Monday morning. He was 88.

"He championed human dignity, especially that of the poor, called the world to urgent climate action, condemned the death penalty, and confronted painful truths — including the Church's role in the genocide of Indigenous peoples," Newsom stated.

In 2024, Newsom joined Pope Francis at the Vatican and spoke at the Vatican Climate Summit.

Newsom grew up Catholic and attended Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution, but seldom mentions his faith.
