World's Catholics mourn Pope Francis

Pope Francis was the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

We are live in Rome where mourners have been gathering to honour Pope Francis who died earlier on Monday aged 88. Throughout the programme, we are reflecting on the life and legacy of the Pope.

We are joined by some young leaders of the church, and we connect with some Catholics from Pope Francis's native Argentina.

And we hear from Asia where Catholicism is generally a minority religion, with the exception of the Philippines and Timor-Leste. Our Asia Pacific regional editor explains.

Presenter: Mark Lowen.
