"I mean he’s a very good pope. I mean, I remember my – almost like 20 years. I remember when he became a pope. I watched the whole thing on TV. So I’m still – I was, I was so shocked this morning when I heard about that he’s passed away because about 3 days ago I saw he’s in Rome with other people and I’m so shocked, so sad."

STORYLINE:
Mourners gathered at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in New York for a mass service in remembrance of Pope Francis.
"I came here to give him respect," Pablo Moncada, a New Yorker from Queens told the Associated Press.
Pope Francis died Monday at age 88. The Vatican said Francis suffered a stroke which led to a coma and his heart to fail, as he recovered from a five-week hospitalization for double pneumonia.
History’s first Latin American pontiff charmed the world with his humble style and concern for the poor but alienated many conservatives with critiques of capitalism and climate change.
Francis recently returned to the Vatican after 38 days in a hospital for a respiratory crisis that developed into double pneumonia, the longest hospitalization of his 12-year papacy. He last appeared in public on Sunday with an Easter blessing and popemobile tour through a cheering crowd in St. Peter’s Square. No funeral date has been announced. The next pope is yet to be decided.
