    Media Farewell to Pope Francis: The Pope from the End of the Earth Returns to the Father’s House
    Hodalska, Magdalena; Buksa, Łukasz (Wydział Teologiczny UKSW w Warszawie, 2025)
    The article presents the results of a content analysis of Polish and foreign media reporting on the departure and funeral of Pope Francis. The aim of the article is to identify the main motifs of media narratives concerning the „Pope from the End of the Earth.” The analysis included press publications that appeared from April 21 to April 26, 2025 (from the day of the Pope’s death to his funeral) in the online editions of Polish newspapers and weeklies, and also included the main themes of coverage from Pope Francis’s funeral in Polish and international television stations. The analysis reveals that key motifs in the media narratives include, among others, the symbolic significance of the date of the Pope’s death, which occurred during the Easter Octave, his humility and advocacy for marginalized communities, as well as his role as a bridge-builder in times of crisis. Furthermore, the media’s attention to the gathering of world leaders at the papal funeral emphasized the universal importance of his message, including compassionate support for the poor and excluded. The analysis reveals an image of the Pope distinguished by his unconventional style and spontaneous connection with people. The article demonstrates how the media reporting on the farewell to Pope Francis highlighted how, through simple gestures, he conveyed a message of mercy while remaining close to people until the very end.
