In a climate of deep passion and respect, under the warm sunlight of the autumn morning, many Buenos Aires Pope Francis refused on April 26 with a bloc and a “symbolic hug” around the historical scene de Mayo.

The funeral for the eternal rest of Francisco began at ten in the morning at a altar that was installed outside the Metropolitan Cathedral, a few hours after the funeral held in the Vatican in the presence of the important world leaders.

Diocese and dozens of Archdio Aires priests. The Apostolic Nonicalo in Argentina, Monneor Miroslao Adamsik, was also present.

“Everyone died”

Vulnerability

He added: “We do not want what Carlos Gardel sang in one of the Tangos: The detained tears refuse to flow, and it is not comfortable to cry.”

In another section of the sermon, the head of the bishop confirmed that Francisco, “like every good father, was the father of everyone, but he had a special concern for the most fragile material, and showed the tendency to the latter, the marginalized, the sick, and the ignorance of this society;

After that, bishops, Garcia Kosva, called on the believers to “direct his view of the cathedral award, where Jorge Mario Bergolio has been his head of bishops since 1998”, and where the biblical meeting between Patriarch Yaqoub and his son Jose is represented.

“Buenos Aires reconciled with the Argentine Federation in a brother’s agreement, sealed in San Jose de Flores in 1859. This scene was chosen to perpetuate through the art achieved by national reconciliation,” explained the head of bishops.

“Today I would like to fix this appearance and imagine the hug that we condemn to the Argentine: Hugging has been deprived of those who think differently, for those who live according to other habits or methods of existence; Hug we lost to those who suffer; Hugs that we were unable to exchange during the epidemic.
