Moore Statement on Passing of Pope Francis | 2025-04-21 | 2025 | 2025-04 | Republican | House | WV | Riley M. Moore | M001235 | rileymoore.house.gov | rileymoore | https://rileymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Riley M. Moore issued the following statement on the passing of Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church: "Mina and I join fellow Catholics in West Virginia and across the globe in mourning the loss of Pope Francis and praying for the repose of his soul. "In his final message - shared just yesterday for Easter - the Holy Father wrote: 'Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life.' A fitting end to a papacy focused on joy. "I encourage all Catholics to join me in praying and fasting for the Holy Father and for the Catholic Church as She begins to select a new successor to St. Peter. "Eternal rest grant unto him, o Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:33:40Z |
