Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mumma Mia acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
is recorded on Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm Grace Rubrey from Mumma MEA's twice daily news podcast,
The Quikie with Your Headlines. For Friday, April twenty five,
Pope Francis will be laid to rest on Saturday after
passing away aged eighty eight, of a stroke that left
him in a coma before suffering irreversible cardiocircletary collapse on
Easter Monday. Claire Murphy explains what happens now as the
(00:42):
Vatican prepares to farewell the Pontiff and elect a new
spiritual leader for the world's estimated one point three billion Catholics.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
On Wednesday morning, the late Pope's body was brought from
the private chapel of the Cassa Santa Marta residence, where
he'd chosen to live, to Saint Peter's Basilica viral procession
through Santa Marta Square and the Square of the Roman Protomartis.
Francis's body has been lying in public views since then
and will be visited by the faithful paying their respects
(01:13):
until midnight local time tonight, where he will then be
prepared for the funeral service, which begins at ten am
Local time Saturday, six pm Australian Eastern Standard time tomorrow
and broadcast via the Vatican's website and YouTube channel. A
huge crowd is expected at the outdoor mass, which will
be presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Ray, who is
(01:34):
the Dean of the College of Cardinals and who also
led the funeral for Pope Benedict in twenty twenty three.
Dozens of world leaders will attend, including Australia's Governor General
Sam Moston, who will head from Anzac Day celebrations in
Turkey to the event in Italy. Trade Minister Don Farrell
will also be in attendance representing Australia, as will National
(01:55):
MP Michael McCormack, Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi and Opposition leader
Peter Dutton will remain in Australia with the election just
a week away.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Pope France's compassion embraced all humanity, and today he will
be mourned by Catholics and non Catholics alike.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
His Holiness Pope Francis served God with the utmost devotion.
Throughout his life, he lived frugally and simply above all else,
he was driven by Christ's values of mercy and forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Royalty including Prince William, Spain's King Philippe and Queen Letitzia,
Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Matilds, and Monaco's Prince Albert
and Princess Charlene will attend, as will French President Emmanuel Macron,
Ukraine's President volodomiu Zelenski, and British PM Kiir starmer Us
President Donald Trump and his wife Milania will also be there,
(02:48):
despite Trump having several run ins with the late pope
over several issues, including immigration policy. In his will, Francis
requested that he be buried in a simple, underground tomb
at Saint Mary Major Basilica, rather than the more ornate
Saint Peter's Basilica, where previous popes have been laid to rest.
(03:09):
Funeral will start with a procession of the clergy and
the Pope's coffin. After Holy Communion, the final right of
ultimo commendatio will be performed, during which Francis's body will
be commended to God. This will be followed by a
final farewell called valedictio. While a requiem mass usually runs
for about an hour, this mass is likely to run
(03:29):
closer to ninety minutes to farewell. Francis, who was known
to the world as one of the most progressive popes,
appointing dozens of women into top roles in the Vatican,
but falling short of allowing them to be ordained as priests.
He was also vocal on issues such as climate change
and work to begin righting the wrongs of the Catholic
Church's role in the clergy's sexual abuse cover ups across
(03:51):
the globe, including here in Australia, and often involving children.
Pope Francis told his staff to take divisive action, and
unture predators were punished. Some say his role brought unprecedented
transparency to what would otherwise have been kept secret. The
say he could have gone further to shine a light
on crimes committed by members of the church, some he
(04:12):
knew personally. Francis also inherited a Vatican that was dealing
with allegations of corruption, telling the cardinals on his appointment
in twenty thirteen that there was no room for careerists
or social climbers amongst the clergy, saying they should not
live like princes and not dissect theology in lush salons
while there were poor people around the corner. Following the
(04:34):
funeral on Saturday, the Novan Diali, the nine days of
Official Morning takes place. The funeral marks the first day
of this period, with the final day on May fourth.
The Catholic Church is now in a period called the vacancy,
which happened at the moment of the pope's death, meaning
there's currently no elected pope. Irish born Cardinal Kevin Farrell,
who's a senior Vatican official, is now carrying out the
(04:57):
administrative and financial duties of the Holy See until a
new pope takes over. The secret meeting of cardinals, known
as the Conclove, usually begins between fifteen and twenty days
after a pope's death. Death following the period of morning.
May five seems a likely date on which it might start.
Only cardinals who are aged eighty or younger on the
(05:18):
day of the pope's death have a vote. There are
currently one hundred and thirty five cardinals of voting age,
and there has to be a minimum of one hundred
and twenty in the conclave, which will convene in the
Sistine Chapel, where there can be up to four votes
each day. There's no set time for the conclave to
elect a new pope, and if it carries on for
a long time, it is possible the cardinals will take
(05:40):
a break and have a non voting day. A two
thirds majority is required to elect a new pope. Each
time there is a vote, the ballots are then burned
with black smoke from a chimney of the Cistine Chapel,
indicating no one has been elected, or white confirming a
new pontiff has been chosen. When a pope is chosen,
there's expected to be a double confirmation to avoid any confusion,
(06:02):
perhaps by ringing the bells at Saint Peter's. It's then
usual that the new pope soon appears on the balcony
of Saint Peter's Basilica that overlooks the square, where an
announcement in Latin of havebermus paper, meaning we have a
pope is made alongside the new Pontiff's appearance.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Thanks Claire, federal election campaigning will pause as Lena's mark
Anzac Day, honoring Australia's fallen soldiers. Prime Minister Anthony Abernezi
will attend the dawn service at the Australian War Memorial
in Canberra, while Opposition Leader Peter Dutton will be in Brisbane.
Mister Alberzi said it was vital to step away from
(06:41):
campaigning to reflect on the sacrifices of the nation's defense
forces one hundred and ten years since Gallipoli. Mister Dutton
highlighted the added significance with twenty twenty five marking eighty
years since the end of World War II, acknowledging the
million Australians who served. The ABC has reported that the
man charged with murdering nineteen year old Audrey Griffin has
(07:04):
died in custody. New South Wales Police Sayer fifty three
year old was found unresponsively when they sell its silver
Water Correctional complex on Thursday and could not be revived.
The ABC understands he was the same man charged earlier
that week with Miss Griffin's murder. His death is not
being treated as suspicious. A Corrective Services New South Wales
(07:25):
spokesperson confirmed the death will be reported to the coroner,
with a public inquest to follow the corrections. Minister extended
condolences to miss Griffin's family, noting this case will now
not be able to be prosecuted through the courts. Russia
has launched its biggest assault on Kiev this year, killing
at least twelve and injuring ninety with missiles and drones.
(07:46):
According to Ukrainian officials, the strikes caused widespread destruction and fires,
with rescuers still recovering bodies. Hours later, US President Donald
Trump condemned the attack as not necessary and very bad timing,
urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop as he pushes
for a rapid Pea steal. Both Ukraine and Russia are
(08:06):
trying to show progress toward that goal, but the White
Pehouses warned it may abandon efforts if talks stall. Foreign
Minister Pennywong has urged Israel to lift its blockade on
Gaza and allow humanitarian aid, joining calls from the UK, France,
and Germany. Supplies including fuel and electricity have been blocked
since early March, prompting international condemnation. Labour faces pressure in
(08:31):
western Sydney electorates with large Muslim populations, where grassroots group
Muslim Votes Matter is backing independent candidates and urging voters
to reject politicians silent on Gaza. Both major parties have
been largely silent on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza during
the federal election campaign. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has pledged
to review visas for Gazan's if elected, citing security concerns,
(08:55):
a stance at Amnesty International Australia called inflammatory and baseless,
noting all visa holders have passed strict security checks. And finally,
Robert Irwin says it's a dream come true to join
the Dancing with the Stars cast in twenty twenty five,
inspired by watching his sister Bindi win the show in
twenty fifteen. At twenty one years old, Erwin is the
(09:16):
first celebrity confirmed for season thirty four, which typically airs
in September. The Wildlife Warrior, son of the late Steve Erwin,
is no stranger to reality TV, having starred in Criche
It's the Erwins and co host of I'm a Celebrity,
