00:00The death of Pope Francis has shocked the world and, of course, the Argentine Republic where the High Pontiff was born.
00:07A correspondent brings us some reflections of the people on the streets of Buenos Aires.
00:12The death of Pope Francis was not in itself a surprise.
00:18His long convalescence foresaw this outcome.
00:21Where did he leave? Among other things, ideas in the youngest hearts.
00:26He always motivated us with all his phrases.
00:30Pope Francis was for me a figure that transcended the spiritual.
00:34Although I am a practicing Catholic and work in the Catholic field, the figure of Pope Francis was very special because he was very close, especially to the Argentinian people, and all my youth was accompanied by his pontificate, which I am deeply grateful for.
00:48One of the virtues of Pope Francis, the Latin American Pope, was to bring together non-Catholics, atheists, agnostics, and doubters, who, yes, understood the message, uniting people.
01:04He was a Pope who was very much on the side of the most vulnerable.
01:09He was very much at the side of the poorest, creating consciences for those of us who perhaps are not so aware.
01:17I am Paraguayan and I think he vindicated the Paraguayan, Latin American woman.
01:22He is very special for us Paraguayans.
01:24I brought a couple of phrases, many that I took from Instagram, and that Pope Francis reminded us that there is room for everyone in the Church.
01:35A diverse Pope departed, leaving behind a great diversity of ideas.
01:47Thanks to God I had the opportunity to meet him in Rome.
01:50It is a memory that I will carry forever in my heart.
01:53At that moment he advised me to go ahead, and I think that is what he would also advise us today,
01:58and will continue to tell us from heaven, to go ahead with our faith project.
02:05He was showing us a reality that sometimes we want to sweep under the rug and it shouldn't be that way.
02:13We have to see it, so he showed that, with his mistakes and successes, like every person.
02:17But I think that's one of the greatest legacies.
02:20To be attentive and to live as Matthew 25 says,
02:22What you did for the least, you did for me.
02:24What you did for the least, you did for me.
02:28From Buenos Aires to TELESUR, Fabián Restivo.
