“So I did buy some (memorabilia) the other day, but I struggled today because I couldn’t find anything in English. I was looking for anything. They have the Jubilee but I didn’t really want just the Jubilee because we originally came here for Carlo (first millennial saint, Carlo Acutis). And then of course for the pope. But, we’ve done everything for the pope and I’m looking for something in English to take home to my grandchildren and my children.”

STORYLINE:
Pilgrims were buying memorabilia of the late Pope Francis in the Vatican on Sunday.
Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88.
His death set off mourning across the Catholic world and days of ritual at the Vatican.
After his funeral on Saturday, a special Mass was celebrated in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday by Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
The Mass was attended by a crowd estimated at 200,000, among them many young people who originally came to Rome for what was supposed to be the canonization of the first millennial saint, Carlo Acutis, during special holy days devoted to teenagers.
No date has yet been set for the conclave, but it is expected to start between May 5 and May 10.
Cardinals who travelled to Rome for Francis’ funeral will be meeting regularly this week ahead of the conclave as they start to chart a way forward for the 1.4 billion-strong Catholic Church.
