Carlos notes:
Pope Francis has passed away:
Full news bulletin (in English) of Vatican Radio Africa’s Service about the death of Pope Francis. Listened in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on a Xhdata D-808 receiver.
I received this radiofax today, it’s the English Edition of Kyodo News from April 21, the date of Pope Francis’ death, and it has the following news: “Pope Francis emerges from convalescence on Easter, delights crowd with popemobile tour.”
