Now to the latest on the death of Pope Francis. The pontiff is lying in state in St. Peter's
0:04
Basilica for three days for mourners to pay their respects ahead of his funeral
0:08
And Fox News, Sharon Crowley, is here with more on all of this. Sharon? Yes, so many people going there to the Vatican to pay their respects. In fact
0:15
mourners from all over the world coming to say goodbye to Pope Francis. His body moved today in a moving ceremony to St. Peter's Basilica ahead of his funeral on
0:24
Saturday. Now, the 88-year-old leader of the Roman Catholic Church died Monday of a stroke
0:29
and heart failure. A steady procession, as we've been saying, of mourners winding through the holy
0:34
door and down the central aisle of the basilica. Pope Francis was laid out with red robes
0:40
clasping a rosary, and the traditional pointed headdress. The faithful waiting hours, some as
0:45
many as five hours, just to reach the casket. In fact, crowds are so large, the Vatican may allow
0:52
the viewing to continue after midnight. It will go on for three days until the funeral Saturday
0:57
as we said, and cardinals from around the globe also making their way to the Vatican, as you can
1:01
see there. The conclave, when the cardinals select a new pope in secret, begins in a few weeks. Today
1:07
visitors traveling for miles to say goodbye to their beloved Holy Father. Very, very moving
1:14
experience to see him so vulnerable after so long, being so unwell. The queuing was difficult, but
1:21
kind of worth it in the end. I think he was a great pope, so I really hope that they'll
1:27
vote someone else equally as compassionate back into the role. Well, four Swiss guards stand duty by the casket as the tens of thousands of people
1:39
that are expected to pass through the Basilica view Pope Francis. Now, the Pope died as he led the Catholic Church for 12 years
1:48
and he was best known for his concern for the poor and prioritizing a message of inclusion
1:53
something we've been talking about all week, ladies. Absolutely. That seems to be revered by some money
