The Catholic Church begins to close one of the most transcendental moments in its recent history: the farewell of Pope Francis and the beginning of the process, which will determine his successor.
Jorge Bergolo died on Monday, at the age of 88, and after his death, the vacancies protocol was activated, the period when the throne San Pedro remains without the inhabitant before the election of a new pontiff.
From the early hours of Wednesday to this Friday, Francisco was exposed to the public in the Basilica San Pedro, where almost 300 thousand people have passed to give it the last farewell. This Saturday, the queue of leaders around the world will come, who are forgiven at the state funeral of the pontiff.
After the ceremony, the remains of Bergolo will rest in the basilica of the mayor of Santa -Maria, in the capital of Italy, the desire that he himself left in writing of his own free will. The tomb, located in the chapel of Polina, will be sober, without jewelry or epitaphs, and will wear his Latin name: Francis.
