Presidents, royalty and a multitude of simple mourners bade farewell to Pope Francis on Saturday at his funeral, where a cardinal said the pontiff’s legacy of caring for migrants, the downtrodden and the environment must not die with him. On one side of Francis’ coffin in the vast St. Peter’s Square sat U.S. President Donald Trump, who clashed with the pope on those issues. On the other side sat cardinals who must decide if Francis’ successor should continue with his push for a more open Church or cede to conservatives who want to return to a more traditional papacy.
