Sprows: Since 1903, Another Pope Had Not Been Buried in the Vatican

‘Pope Francis ended his pontificate as he spent his pontificate, in simplicity and in humility’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SPROWS: "Alex The sight. Of that plain wooden casket. Pope Francis ended his pontificate as he spent his pontificate in. Simplicity and in humility I was struck in the homily by how often the word mercy was mentioned, and the words joy. Keynotes of his. Papacy and keynotes of that homily, and of course, the drive in the popemobile through the city. Remarkably moving."

WITT: "Yeah, absolutely. It had been how long since another pope had not been buried in the vatican?"

SPROWS: "Since 1903, the death of pope leo the 13th. He’s the last pope not buried inside the vatican."
