An Irish-born Cardinal played a significant role in announcing Francis’s passing to the world.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell, born in Dublin in 1947, has been the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church since 2019.

The Camerlengo administers the property and revenues of the Holy See, which is the governing body of the Catholic Church and Vatican City State.

But the Camerlengo is also responsible for officially confirming the pope’s death and announcing it to the waiting world.

He will also manage the administration of the Vatican in the period between Francis’s death and the election of a new pope, though no major decisions will be made in this period.

In what is a largely ceremonial practice, the Camerlengo visits the deceased pope and calls out his baptismal name three times – in the case of Francis, this is Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

After the pope is declared dead, the Camerlengo takes the pope’s Fisherman’s Ring and defaces it — Francis only wore his for special occasions, preferring to wear the one he had as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, in Argentina.

The Fisherman’s Ring is presented to the pope at his papal inauguration and refers back to St Peter, the first pope, who was a fisherman.
