Pope Francis Funeral Marks Historic Shift in Rituals: Multilingual Prayers Break Tradition | Vatican
In a powerful and symbolic farewell, Pope Francis’s funeral introduced a historic change to long-standing papal rites.
For the first time in the history of papal funerals, the Prayer of the Faithful was delivered in six languages—including a groundbreaking addition that reflected Pope Francis’s global outreach and deep commitment to inclusivity.
From simplified funeral rites to multilingual participation, the ceremony captured the late pontiff's desire for a humbler, more accessible Church.
With over 200,000 mourners filling St.
Peter’s Square, this farewell was as much a moment of tradition as it was of transformation — a ritual echoing the values Pope Francis championed throughout his life.
