At New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, hundreds of Catholics gathered in mourning, including worshipper Peter who said “we lost a very good man” whose values were entirely at odds with those of President Donald Trump.
“We have a president and an administration that’s turning the country in a direction that is in complete contradiction of the values that this pope espoused.”

In the nation’s capital, well-wishers gathered outside Washington National Cathedral to mark the passing of Francis.
