STORYLINE:
Catholics and officials offered their condolences at the Apostolic Nunciature in Jakarta on Tuesday, following the death of Pope Francis.

Hundreds waited in line to write condolence messages and meet the city’s Apostolic Nuncio, quietly reciting prayers underneath a half-mast Vatican flag.

“I am honestly very surprised since he still gave blessings on Easter to us, to people all over the world. When I heard the news I felt very sad,” said worshipper Claudia, who gave one name.

Francis visited Indonesia last September as part of a major Asia Pacific tour.

The Argentine pope died Monday at age 88 after a stroke put him in a coma and led his heart to fail.

He had been recovering in his apartment after being hospitalized for five weeks with pneumonia. He made his last public appearance Sunday, delivering an Easter blessing and greeting followers from his popemobile, looping around St. Peter’s Square.
