‘Like a grandfather has passed’: The shock behind the death of Pope Francis
Catholic News Network Vatican correspondent Colm Flynn says Pope Francis’ death felt as though a “family member” passed away.
“There is great sadness in a moment like this, the feeling I had this morning when I woke up and speaking to my wife, it felt like a grandfather had passed it was just that kind of shock,” Mr Flynn said.
“Like a family member had passed away.”
