Argentina mourns homegrown Pope Francis • FRANCE 24 English

Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pope Francis made history as the first pontiff from Latin America and, more broadly, from the Global South. His election to the papacy has been a source of immense pride for his home country, despite the fact that he never returned to Argentina after becoming pope. The Archbishop of Buenos Aires captured this sentiment perfectly on Monday, stating that "Bergoglio left us to become Francis." Lucia Cholakian reporting from Buenos Aires.
