New Delhi, April 21 -- US Vice President JD Vance mourned the passing of Pope Francis on Monday, just a day after meeting the pontiff during Easter Sunday celebrations at the Vatican. Following the visit, Vance and his family departed for India.

"I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him.

I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I'll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. It was really quite beautiful.

May God rest his soul," JD Vance posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The US VP and Pope Francis met each other on Sunday, April 20.
