THE BUENOS AIRES METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL is the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires and where the newly-elected Roman Catholic Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio) said many prayers for the poor, sick and the homeless. What a way to go for the humble servant - from the end of the earth to the Eternal City. It's God's will.
