💨 Abstract

East Timor, a predominantly Catholic Asian nation with a population of 1.3 million, commenced seven days of national mourning on Tuesday for Pope Francis, who died on Monday. His visit to the country last year was the first by a pope in over 30 years and had a significant impact on its independence movement. The country's Council of Ministers announced the mourning period, stating it was a tribute to Francis' leadership in the Catholic Church.
