RESTRICITION SUMMARY:
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vatican, 22 April 2025
1. Various of pilgrims walking in procession towards Holy Door
2. Wide of St. Peter’s Basilica
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Catherine Magliocchetti, Philadelphia tourist:
“I do think he was very outspoken on issues, especially yesterday’s message about Gaza, Israel, Ukraine and Russia and I think his message to political leaders is very important and I think the papacy will continue to have influence on world leaders.”
4. Nuns walking near St. Peter’s
5. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Micale Sales, Brazilian tourist:
"For me, Pope Francis represents a great pastor, as well as a great friend to all of us. The Pope represents Peter himself to us and he is the one who strengthens our faith. It is he who also testifies to what we believe."
6. Brazilians walking near St. Peter’s
7. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese ) Julio Henrique, Brazilian tourist:
"The death of a Pope is not a small thing, because we’ve lost our leader. But still, in a few days we will have a new leader. So that expectation remains, that thing of hope remains who will assume Peter’s throne here? Who is it, who will be next? And then, together in prayer, we know that our lord Jesus Christ said in the word of God it is written the gates of hell will not prevail over this church. So we believe that the holy spirit is preparing something new and wonderful for this church season."
8. Group on edge of St. Peter’s Square
9. Tourists from India
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Soham Khauche, Indian tourist:
“Since I don’t follow Christianity but I did know about him and I did knowhow a big personality he was for this church. So I think it is a big loss not just for the Vatican City but for the entire world.”
11. German family at St. Peter’s
12.SOUNDBITE (German) Michael Di Roberto, German tourist:
"We knew, of course, that the Pope was ill and might not survive the week. We’re here in Vatican now to see how people here are taking on the whole thing. The Pope is, of course, an important person for world affairs."
13. Wide of St. Peter’s Basilica
14. SOUNDBITE (Korean) Soo Hwan Ha, South Korean tourist:
"The Pope came to us with great humility even though he was very quiet, he came to us in a humble way like Jesus. And even when talk about Korea, he gave a lot of comfort to the needy people in Korea. I took part in the Easter Day Mass here on Saturday and Sunday, and that’s when I got to see the Pope. I was so surprised to hear that it happened on Monday the next day, it came so unexpectedly, and today I keep praying for the Pope."
15. Mexican flag, Cupola on St. Peter’s in background
16. Tour group leader with Mexican flag
17. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Luis Manuel Hernandez, Mexican tourist:
"Although we knew it was already delicate, right? But we didn’t expect him to pass away. It is a sad thing because he was the first Latin Argentine Pope, something important. Then a Franciscan, a humble Pope who connected with a lot of people who previously were not very much in agreement with the church, a lot of things. And this Pope came to change things and now he dies, it’s a very sad thing, but that’s the way things are."
18. Entrance to St. Peter’s Basilica, crowd in front
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Amit Kukreja, Australian tourist: ++AUDIO AS INCOMING++
“I think he has spread a positive message around the world saying there should be any violence, there should be peace around the world. There shouldn’t be any war, during wartime. So he was spreading positive messages around the world."
20. Tourist from Morocco walking towards St. Peter’s
21. People on Via della Conciliazione
