PARIS — “The champion of all,” “a unique pope,” “a pioneering pope who reformed the church”… Newspapers from around the world Tuesday are dedicating their front pages to Pope Francis, honoring the pontiff who died on Easter Monday at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta building.
The press in Latin America is bidding “adiós” to Francis, the first pope from the Americas and the southern hemisphere, and in particular, newspapers from his native Argentina, including sports dailies. “National pride, a soccer fan like few others, and a disruptive force, Pope Francis revolutionized the Church,” writes Buenos Aires-based Olé.
