A solemn and majestic funeral was held in Vatican City for Pope Francis, the first South American pope, who led the Roman Catholic Church for a dozen years. World leaders, including President Trump, attended the outdoor ceremony at St. Peter's Basilica. The funeral was marked by haunting chants and the presence of some 200,000 faithful. Pope Francis was known for his humble style and pastoral vision, which both reinvigorated and divided the institution. He was 88.
