Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died at the age of 88. During his papacy, Francis challenged the church's deeply rooted norms and made it his mission to change the perception of the Catholic Church around the world. Pope Francis, hours before his death, marked Easter Sunday with an appearance at St. Peter's Basilica. Much to the glee of faithful in the courtyard, Francis rode in the popemobile a mere three weeks after he was released from a five-week life-threatening stay in the hospital. CBS News' Chris Livesay reports from Rome. Tributes from around the world have begun to pour in, including one from Vice President JD Vance, one of the last people to have a meeting with Francis before his death. CBS News' Ed O'Keefe reports from the White House. John Allen, a longtime observer of the Catholic Church and editor of the Catholic news site "The Crux," reacts to Pope Francis' death.
