The man passed away around 7:35 this morning.
His family was Italian immigrants.
The first non European Pope for over a thousand years.
The last one was Gregory lll from Syria born in 741.
I had no idea there ever was a non European Pope besides Pope Francis.
God speed dear Sir.

Thank you for posting, I haven't had the news on yet today so did not know.

Yes RIP to a very special man.

Pope Francis really stood out as a good man, with heartfelt values on the teachings of Christ.
