Rome: Hundreds of thousands of mourners joined global leaders, including US President Donald Trump, to be farewell on Saturday, which will be farewell to Pope Francis, a champion of the poor, who tried to create more sympathetic Catholic Church.

Vatican said 400,000 people filled St. Peters Square and made Rome’s streets stand for the first Latin American leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics for the last rites.

After a firm funeral, Argentina Pontuff’s simple wooden coffin – which is proof of humility – was gradually moved towards Santa Maria Megigiur Church of Rome, where she was interrupted in a private event.

According to photos released by the Vatican, Cardinals marked its coffin with red wax seals.

He said, “He made me very sad. It is going to touch that he left us like this.” The marble tomb is written with just one word: “Francis”, its Popal name in Latin.

At the funeral, Trump was in more than 50 heads of state. In his first meeting after his Oval Office collision in February, he had earlier met with several world leaders in a corner of St. Peter’s Baselica, especially Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelnski.

Francis, who passed away at the age of 88 on Monday, “was a pop of people, who were open -hearted”, who struggled for a more compassionate, open -minded Catholic Church, Cardinal Giwani Battesta Ri led the service.

The bright blue was clapping under the people gathered under the sky when he made the pope “believed that the church was a house for everyone, a house is always open”. Francis tried to move the church in a more comprehensive direction during its 12 -year -long Papisi, and his death indicated that the global emotion would spread.

Italian and Vatican officials conducted an important security operation for the event, fighter jets on Standbai and sniper positions on the roofs of the small city state.

During the funeral, Red Cardinals and purple -colored bishops were sitting on one side of the altar at St. Peter Square at St. Peter Square, sitting opponents of the world.

In front of the altar, the pope’s simple sir laid a coffin, entered with a yellow cross.

The last rites launched a nine -day official Vatican mourning for Francis, who took power after the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013.

After mourning, cardinals under the age of 80 will select a new pope of their numbers.

Many of Francis’ reforms offended the traditionalists, while criticizing their injustice, from the treatment of immigrants to the loss of global rankings, many global leaders.

Nevertheless, the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires and former Charisma’s Archbishop gained global love and respect.

The Trump administration has attracted Pontaf’s massive immigrants to a massive deportation, but the president has paid tribute to “a good man” who “loved the world”.

While traveling among the first foreigners of his second term, Trump sat among the leaders, many of them wanted to lose during the trade war.

On Saturday, the White House said that the president had a “very fruitful” meeting with Zilnski before the funeral.

In domestic, Busta highlighted the permanent demands for Francis’ peace, saying he has called for “reason and honest dialogue” in efforts to end conflicts around the world.

“The construction of bridges, not walls” was an admonition that he repeated several times, Cardinal said.

Trump’s predecessor, Biden, also attended the funeral with UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres, Germany’s Olaf Schools, Italy’s Georgia Meloni, and Lebanon’s Joseph Aun.

Israel – angry with Francis’ criticism over the war in Gaza – only sent its Holi ambassador. China, which does not have formal relations with the Vatican, did not send any representative.

Including Buenos Aires, Catholic around the world organized programs to look directly, where Francis was born in 1936 as George Bergoglel in the poorer neighborhood of Flores.

“The Pope showed us another way to revive faith,” said 25 -year -old Lara Amado, 25, in the Argentine capital.

Francis fans supported him to change the opinion of the church and to help restore faith after decades of academic sexual exploitation.

Some people considered divorced and re -married believers a radical on allowing divorced believers to unite, approve of transgender believer’s baptism and blessing for homosexual couples, and denying gay Catholic.

But he, too, was trapped with a centuries -old conflict, especially in opposition to the church against abortion. “A church struggled to take care of people’s problems and the great problems that are tearing up the modern world,” Bitsta said.

“A church that is capable of bending every person, regardless of their beliefs or conditions, and healing their wounds.”
