Let's play odd-one-out:
"I join the world in mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a messenger of hope, humility and humanity. Pope Francis was a transcendent voice for peace, human dignity and social justice. My deepest condolences to Catholics and all those around the world inspired by his extraordinary life and example." - UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres
"Pope Francis’ long and distinguished papacy was marked by his unwavering commitment to the principles of compassion, peace, and human dignity. He spoke out for the poor, the marginalised, and the oppressed. His solidarity with refugees, his calls for climate action, and his insistence on global peace and equality set him apart as a champion of justice in the modern world." Irish PM Michael Martin
"Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another. Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.” - formed US president Barack Obama
"Pope Francis practised and preached in his daily life the love, tolerance and solidarity which are the basis of Christian teachings ....Just as the Prayer of St Francis of Assisi taught, the Argentine Jorge Bergoglio tirelessly sought to bring love where there was hatred. Harmony where there was discord. And understanding that we are all equal, living in the same home, our planet, which urgently needs our care.” - Brazilian president Lula da Silva
"I join millions around the world in grieving the death of His Holiness Pope Francis. His leadership in a complex and challenging time for the world and the church was courageous, yet always came from a place of deep humility. Pope Francis was a pope for the poor, the downtrodden and the forgotten. He was close to the realities of human fragility, meeting Christians around the world facing war, famine, persecution and poverty. Yet he never lost hope of a better world." - British PM Keir Starmer
"Rest in Peace Pope Francis! May God Bless him and all who loved him!" - US president Donald Trump (accompanied by photos of Melania and Vance with the pontifex)
