John Dew: New Zealand Archbishop Cardinal on Pope Francis' funeral
from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB
A sea of mourners watched on, as the Vatican bid a final farewell to Pope Francis last night. The 88-year-old pontiff has now been laid to rest at Rome's Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Hundreds of thousands filled out Saint Peter's Square and surrounding areas to catch a glimpse of the funeral. New Zealand Archbishop Cardinal John Dew was among the crowd - and he said it was a 'lovely' ceremony. "I think there were 50 heads of state here - from 50 different countries. I thought that just spoke volumes of the fact that that many people would make the effort to get to Rome for his funeral." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
