Pope Francis’ funeral will take place in St. Peters Square on Saturday, Roman Catholic Cardinals decided on Tuesday, which set a firm event that would attract leaders around the world.

Vatican said that 88 -year -old Francis died unexpectedly after facing stroke and cardiac arrests on Monday, Vatican said, a often ending a turbulent period, in which he repeatedly confronted with traditions and fought against the poor and the backward.

Pontuff spent five weeks at a hospital suffering from double pneumonia earlier this year. But he returned to the Vatican almost a month ago, and it seemed that Easter was appearing in St. Peter Square on Sunday.

The Vatican released photos of Francis on Tuesday and placed in a wooden coffin in the chapel of the Santa Marta residence, where he lived during his 12 -year -old Papisi. Swiss guards stand on both sides of the coffin.

His body will be taken to St. Peters Basilica, adjacent to 9:00 pm on Wednesday morning, in which the loyalists will first allow the Latin American Pope to pay their final respect.

His funeral will take place in St. Peters Square, in the shadow of Basilica, at 10:00 am on Saturday (0800 GMT).

US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly clashed with the Pope about immigration, said he and his wife would fly to Rome for the service.

According to a source in his office, the president of Argentina, the native of Francis, the president of Argentina, the native of Francis, Louis Lola Da Silva, and other heads of the state were also present to attend the Ukrainian President’s Volodmeer Zelinsky’s president, Javier Miley.

Ancient rituals

In a breakthrough, Francis confirmed in his last tenure on Monday that he wanted to be buried in St. Mary Major and St. Peters in Rome’s Baselica, where many of his predecessors were kept comfortably.

The sudden death of Francis has brought the ancient rituals into motion, as the 1.4 billion member church began a transfer from one pope to another, in which the pope’s “fishermen’s ring” and the lead seal are used to seal the documents in their lives, so they cannot use anyone else.

All the Cardinals in Rome were summoned at a meeting on Tuesday to decide on the sequence of events in the coming days and review the daily running of the church during this period before the new Pope is selected.

A contract to choose a new pope usually occurs 15 to 20 days after Pontaf’s death, meaning it should not start before May 6.

Some 135 cardinals are eligible to participate in the secret belt, which can increase from day to day before the white smoke flows from the chimney of the Sustaine Chapel, telling the world that a new pope has been picked up.

At this time there is no clear front for Francis to succeed.

Progressive

Pope Francis inherited a church in corruption and worked hard after the restoration of the Vatican’s central administration, rooting out corruption and slow start, and fought against the curse of children in the ranks of the priest.

He often lived in clashes with conservatives, which was from old memories for the traditional past, who also saw Francis appropriate for minority groups like the Liberal and LGBTQ community.

Francis has appointed about 80 % of the worldwide cardinal voters who will choose the next Pope, growing, but will not guarantee that his successor will continue his progressive policies.

Many cardinals are rarely known outside their own countries and will have the opportunity to know each other, known as general parties, which takes place on the days before the start of a contract, and where the next pope will form a profile of features.

Vatican said late on Monday that staff and officials inside Holi could immediately start respecting themselves in front of the Pope’s body at the Santa Marta residence, where Francis established a house in 2013, which was far away from the Grand, Apolosk Palace, living in his predecessors.
