STORYLINE:
On the day of his death in Pope Francis' hometown, Argentines gathered to pay homage to a man who was known to work closely with the poorest in society.

In the Villa 31 low-income neighborhood sitting in the center of the Buenos Aires, a congregation gathered at night to hear a mass dedicated to the Argentine-born pontiff.

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, passed away at the age of 88 just one day after delivering his final Easter message from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica.

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.
