Pope Francis, who sought a more pastoral church, put to rest at a solemn party

At a majestic and majestic funeral on the steps of St. Peter, the Roman Catholic Church placed on Saturday to the comfort of Pope Francis, the first Pope in South America, who made his simple style, pastoral vision and huge difficulty on the world stage on both the activation and division of the institution he led for decades.

The heads of state, the royal family and religious leaders, sat with a group of Catholic players in a wonderful red arrival around a closed cypress coffin carrying the body of Francis, who died on Monday eight and eight.

Hundreds of thousands of believers are full and spared from St. Peter’s Square and flowed on the long road to the Tiaper River. In the previous days, he waited about 250,000 long lines to say goodbye to the Pope, whose body was wearing red clothes and blocked black shoes, lying in the case of the altar of Basilica.

“The guideline of his mission was also convinced that the church is a house for everyone, and it is a house with its doors always open,” said Cardinal Giovanni Batista, Dean of the College of Cardinals, in his sermon during a Mass on Saturday.

While the Cardinals around him were ready to go to the round of next month to choose the successor of Francis, the Cardinal avoided returning clear political tones, but he highlighted the past and comprehensive Francis approach and his modest style as a key for the estimate in which Francis held inside and outside the church.

He said that Francis spread faith with a feeling of joy, “great spontaneity and an informal way to treat everyone,” he said, and the spirit of “welcome and listening.” But Francis also “really participated in fears, suffering and hopes at this time of globalization.”

Francis, who may be the highest voice in the world, leaves the world, the world is in a moment of flow, when the immigrants who defended him are subjected to collective deportation, the tyranny that he warned is in the rise and provision of post -World War II alliances that he hoped to provide peace upside down. Somehow, the funeral on Saturday reached a final law for the Pope, who to the end sought to combine people.

President Trump, who was interrogated by Francis, was once, as President Folodimir Zelinski was from Ukraine, and they met inside the Church of St. Peter before the funeral, while the White House called it “a very fruitful discussion.”

The funeral was also attended by the heads of European state and leaders of the European Union, which Mr. Trump said was “formed to confirm the United States.” There were also leaders of many countries that Francis visited – some of them appealed to peace or doing better in defending human rights. Former President Joseph R. Biden Junior, who once told Francis that he could accept the company despite his support for abortion rights, with other personalities.

When a bell was suffering from death, silence fell over the square, quiet except for the sound of the sea. Inside Bazilica, 14 carcinators carried the Pope through a corridor of Cardro, wearing red clothes, on the steps of the church. From the top, the Cardinate division on one side of the coffin is made for a bright red rectangle against the prominent characters rectangle in dark suits.

The entire square appeared like a patch: purple, white and black, depending on the type of clerics and colors that mix together in the long crowd of believers who arrived from the square to the Tiper River.

In addition to the coffin, which was sprayed with sacred water by the Cardinal Rai, the Cardinals who would choose the ink coming from joy with prayer and the next range of the next selection of the leader 267 of the Church. With this choice, they will also decide whether the church follows or deviates from Francis’s vision of the church, which focuses more on mercy and integration more than the rules and belief.

Some of them want to go further towards allowing women to be deacons or the priests of married men; Others want to retreat. Some want to reach Asia or Africa for the new Pope to spread faith; Others want to return the papacy to Italy to Italy to get the house after a juvenile bus, and sometimes, it shakes stability.

But on Saturday, all attention to Francis, the Argentine for Italian heritage, was born in the role of Jorge Mario Bergulio, who grew up in the humble Buenos Aires neighborhood, was a viable priest and rose to the top of the church. Once he arrived, he tried to get the church out of its walls after decades of conservative rule, and made it closer to 1.3 billion believers where they were, geographically and how they lived their lives.

“The Pope was among the people, with an open heart towards everyone,” said Cardinal Rey, standing behind Francis’s coffin on the steps of St. Peter Square. “The Pope was also attentive to the signs of the times and the Holy Spirit was waking up in the church.”

With Mr. Trump sitting a few yards, the Cardinal Rey recalled the Pope’s late journey to The border between Mexico and the United StatesOne of the “numerous gestures and incitement for the benefit of refugees and displaced persons”, when Francis talked about the need to “build bridges, not walls”.

In the past, only the Paradise and patriarchs can celebrate the papal funeral, but Francis allowed all clerics to participate in this role, in line with his efforts Simple creation, less than top to bottom Church image. Francis put social justice, accompanying people more than just a lecture for them, at the heart of his mission.

Over time, when liberal leaders of the world theater faded, it became an increasingly loud voice talking about immigrants and marginalized.

“He was the only global moral leader who we had,” said Reverend Antonio Spadaro, a colleague of Jesus and assistant close to Francis. He recalled once, saying to Francis, who slapped his hand vibrant and told him that he was talking nonsense. But after years, when he repeated his note to Francis, the Pope enjoyed the possibility, and remained silent.

Francis, who took the name of the saint in the Middle Ages who devoted his life to the poor, was the Pope of gestures and symbols that enlarged his vision of the most humble church. Pay his hotel bill after his election as the Pope. Rose in simple cars. He washed the feet of the criminals and ate with the needy in the soup kitchens.

Even in death, those symbols continued. Charitable groups brought poor poor to the front rows to emphasize Francis’s interest to the marginalized.

“The Pope was from Boyblu and lived for the poor,” said Christian Rivas, 43, from Ecuador, who sat in the crowd during the funeral. “When I was elected for the first time, my heart beats quickly.”

Francis requested that he be buried in Basilica throughout the city, next to the icon of the Virgin Mary, in a simple, non -engraved grave, “Franciskos”, whose name is in Latin. The coffin contains memorial medals and a metal currency that was deported during the papacy. A short text describes Pontificate in a metal tube; The episcopal balcony, the white wool documents you wear around the neck that symbolizes the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical bishop.

But despite the focus, Francis was putting on humility, his funeral was from the ruling Pope, much older than his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who amazed the church and the world when he became the first Pope about 500 years ago to resign the papacy. Francis presided over the funeral of Pope Fakhry Benedict, an unprecedented moment of the Pope heading the final farewell to another.

Rome was mainly paralyzed by all world leaders in the city. On Friday night, the authorities closed a bridge so that President Emmanuel Macron from France and his wife could hike. The sirens seemed constantly. On Saturday, the helicopters cut the warm springs. But everything is silent for the funeral.

At the end of it, the Pope’s coffin was returned to Bazilica and then loaded in the bobbel, who was carrying Pope Francis thousands of times around the Saint Peter’s Square and interviewing believers all over the world. He is now carrying his body to bury him in the Santa Maria Mager Church.

During the funeral of the sermon, the cardinal noticed it The permanent picture of Francis was from Easter on Sunday, a day before his death when he was, although he was clearly sick, but he reached a balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square to connect his blessing and then fell to greet the crowd, on a last trip in Popybille.

The Cardinal concluded that Francis had ended conversations often by inviting him to pray for him, “Dear Pope Francis, we are now asking you to pray for us.”
