But I stood in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/world\/europe\/francis-pope-funeral.html\" title=\"\">line<\/a> to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Pope Francis <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/21\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-dead.html\" title=\"\">died<\/a>, my editors asked me to fly to Italy in advance of a move next month to take up the post of Rome bureau chief. I recently finished an eight-year tour in Tokyo and had thought I would cover the twilight of Francis\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Instead, after arriving Thursday night to help report on the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-simple-funeral.html\" title=\"\">funeral<\/a> and upcoming Conclave to elect Francis\u2019 successor, I wandered over to St. Peter\u2019s Square on Friday morning. I wasn\u2019t planning to linger. I hadn\u2019t picked up my press badge yet, and had read my colleagues\u2019 stories about people waiting for <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/23\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-coffin-lying-in-state-st-peters.html\" title=\"\">hours<\/a> to pass before Pope Francis\u2019 coffin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Once I joined the flow of the faithful, I didn\u2019t want to leave the line. I felt an undeniable pull to stay. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was a holiday in Italy and many locals stood to wait along with thousands of tourists and pilgrims. I heard Italian, Spanish, English and many other languages. There were nuns in their habits, older people in wheelchairs, youth groups dressed in identical T-shirts and carrying matching drawstring backpacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the heavy police presence, the order was loose, with some people weaving in and out and passing ahead, as if on a congested freeway on a weekend. There was not much grumbling, perhaps in deference to the solemn reason we were there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I heard a group from Croatia chant a prayer, repeating after a leader who spoke into a small microphone. We passed through metal detectors to enter the square. A volunteer wearing a lime green vest directed us with a desultory wave, pointing one way and intoning \u201cPapa,\u201d and gesturing in the opposite for \u201cuscita,\u201d \u2014 exit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The mood was more tranquil cheer than mournful. In some ways, it was like any long line, where a mother handed her phone to a restless young daughter to distract her with a video game. At one throttle point, a woman harangued the volunteer holding us back with her arm. The volunteer smiled her way through a skilled de-escalation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I noticed a man wearing a polo shirt with an insignia from the Oakland sheriff\u2019s department. A long line being an easy place to start a conversation, I asked him if he was from California, since I grew up not far from Oakland. Michigan, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The man, Shawn Hopkins, 57, a sheriff\u2019s deputy in Pontiac, was on a short vacation with his mother and his sister, Katrina, 60, who had traveled from Florida. His mother, Julya Hopkins, 85, converted to Catholicism when she was 20 and married their father; it had been her dream to come to Rome.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">Shawn Hopkins, a sheriff\u2019s deputy in Michigan, with his sister, Katrina, and his mother, Julya.<\/span><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Motoko Rich\/The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hopkins, who attended Catholic schools and has been a police officer for 37 years, told me that his work schedule prevented him from regularly making it to Mass, but his childhood in the faith tethered him here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hopkins also wanted to honor his partner, who was lost in the line of duty last year. He gave me a medal commemorating his partner, Deputy Sheriff Bradley J. Reckling. He had swapped them for badges all week with police officers around the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As for the pope, he said, \u201cSeemed like a decent guy. I didn\u2019t get that into the politics of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Francis was a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/23\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-catholic-church-legacy.html\" title=\"\">divisive<\/a> pontiff: many loved him, many wished he did far more, and some believed he was too liberal and already had done too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Paying respects did not require agreement. Katrina Hopkins, who said Francis was \u201ckind,\u201d observed that people stood in line \u201cnot so much because they are faithful but because they want community.\u201d This was the pope\u2019s last gift, she said, bringing us all together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I met a young woman from Taiwan, Chelsea Yu, 27, who described how strangely emotional it had been to see the pope\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She had spent the last few months exploring death, visiting a cremation temple in Nepal and contemplating how to prepare for the eventual passing of her grandparents. Nothing approached the gravity of death. Seeing the pope in his coffin made her feel genuine grief, in part because she admired his values of inclusiveness and calls to protect the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Inside the basilica, people hoisted their phones for photos of the opulence, until a security guard sternly ordered us to stow our devices. Just before I stepped in front of the altar, a baby dressed in a suit and cradled by his father grabbed the handle on my belt bag, yanking me close. I was reassured by this vibrant sign of new life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I had stood in line for two and a half hours and had five seconds to bid farewell. I caught a brief glimpse of the pope in his red cassock, lying in the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/22\/world\/europe\/pope-francis-funeral.html\" title=\"\">simple coffin<\/a> he requested, tilted slightly forward but not on an elevated bier. Two members of the Pontifical Swiss Guard flanked the coffin, stiff as the Queen\u2019s Guards at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I am not religious, but I bowed my head and pressed my hands together. Addio, holy father.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/world\/europe\/pope-funeral-coffin.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never had the chance to say hello.
