From Global News.

Pope Francis will be laid to rest Saturday after lying in state for three days in St. Peter’s Basilica, where the faithful are expected to flock to pay their respects to history’s first Latin American pontiff.

The cardinals set the funeral for Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Peter’s Square, to be celebrated by the dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. U.S. President Donald Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump plan to attend, and Argentine President Javier Milei is also expected.

However, Pope Francis has broken with centuries of Papal tradition in one major way – his choice of final resting spot.

Global’s Redmond Shannon joins us from the Vatican with details on the days ahead, including when the Pope’s body will be moved for public viewing and what we know about his final wishes.
