This morning, St. Peter’s Square was filled with thousands of faithful and numerous international delegations who gathered to pay their final respects to Pope Francis, the 266th Successor of Peter. The solemn ceremony, broadcast worldwide, marked the earthly farewell to Jorge Mario Bergoglio—the first Jesuit pope and the first pontiff from the American continent—who passed away in recent days at the age of 88. Latin returned, diplomacy resurfaced, and after twelve tumultuous years, the liturgy found healing.
