Pope Francis Death Anniversary

A documentary by Martin Scorsese about Pope Francis is set to receive its world premiere in Vatican City as part of the commemorations.

The late pontiff's last wishes continue to be honored, though a plan to use his 'popemobile' as a child clinic in Gaza remains stalled due to entry permits.

Pope Leo, currently on a tour of Africa, remembered Francis as a 'great gift' who gave the Church much through his words and witness.

The anniversary has drawn hundreds of thousands of faithful to Rome to pay their respects.
