Pope Francis sister: the truth behind the 12 -year distance
After Pope Francis' death at the age of 88, one of the topics that most caught the public's attention was his bond with María Elena Bergoglio, her only living sister. At 77, María lives in Buenos Aires, in a religious institution under the care of nuns, due to her weakened health. But why, for over a decade, she and her brother have not met in person?
A separation marked by the papal mission
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, has failed to visit his homeland since he was elected as leader of the Catholic Church in March 2013. Since then, his mission as a Pontiff kept him occupied at the Vatican, preventing any return to Argentina.
The last meeting between Francisco and his sister occurred before his election. Since then, even physically distant, the two kept constant contact by phone and through letters. María Elena revealed in interviews that she accompanied her brother's election with emotion, and that the fraternal connection remained strong despite the distance.
Health prevented reunion
Shortly after Francisco's election, María took a passport with the intention of traveling to Rome and rediscovering his brother. However, its fragile clinical condition made it impossible for international displacement. This limitation was one of the main reasons for face -to -face distancing between the two.
Still, María never failed to express her affection for her brother. She missed the moments she spent with family, shared meals, and strong emotional connection since childhood.
The last representative of the Bergoglio family
Pope Francis was the oldest among five brothers: Oscar, Marta Regina, Alberto and María Elena. With the death of the others, María became the only survivor between the children of Regina and Mario Bergoglio. Even outside the spotlight, she has always remained reserved, respecting the role of her brother as a world religious leader.
Pope Francis sister: a bond that resists time
The case of María Elena and Pope Francis shows that family love can overcome to the greatest distances and obstacles. Although they have not seen themselves in the last 12 years, the brothers have kept a constant connection, watered by faith, affection and mutual respect.
The story of Pope Francis' sister also sheds light on the human side of public figures: even the highest church authorities have deep affective ties and stories marked by personal sacrifices.

Pope Francis dies at the age of 88 victim of respiratory infection: understand the symptoms and what caused his death
Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic Church and the first Latin American pontiff, died on Monday (21), at the age of 88, after complications caused by a respiratory infection. The information was officially confirmed by the Vatican and moved faithful and world leaders, marking the end of an era of transformations and approximation of the church with social themes.
In recent years, Jorge Mario Bergoglio faced several health problems, having been hospitalized a few times due to breathing difficulties. Despite the fragile state, Francisco maintained his schedule to the final moments, including a last commitment to US Vice President Jd Vance on the eve of the Easter celebration. On Easter Sunday, he made a quick appearance on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, where he greeted the faithful and preferred that his traditional message “Urbi et orbi” was read by an advisor.
Symptoms of respiratory infection that led to the Pope's death
Respiratory infection is a very common condition, but can become severe – especially in the elderly and people with a history of lung disease. In the case of Pope Francis, the symptoms have intensified rapidly in recent days. According to experts, the main signs of the disease include:
- Persistent cough (usually with phlegm);
- High fever;
- Difficulty breathing;
- Squeak in the chest;
- Chest pain, especially when breathing deeply;
- Extreme fatigue;
- Accelerated heartbeat.
Respiratory infections can be caused by viruses, bacteria or even fungi, being more dangerous in immunocompromised patients. Francisco, who had already suffered from previous pulmonary infections, had been on alert since 2023 and, by 2024, even stated that “everything was ready for his funeral”, showing awareness of the advancement of his condition.
A historical pontificate
Elected in 2013, Pope Francis became known for the simplicity, charisma and progressive positions. Defender of the poor, the environment and the interreligious dialogue, gained respect and admiration inside and outside the church. In life, he asked his funeral to be simple, with discreet ceremonies and without public exhibitions of the body outside the coffin – a decision that will be respected by the Vatican.
The Pope's death paves the way for the beginning of the succession process, with the convening of the conclave in the coming days. Meanwhile, faithful from all over the world pay honors to the one who will be remembered as one of the most human and affordable porridge in the recent history of the Catholic Church.
