The honoured guests at Pope Francis’s funeral: Rome’s most vulnerable

A cardboard cut-out of pope Francis stands next to the belongings of a person sleeping on the streets in St Peter's Square on March 09, 2025 in Vatican City, Vatican

The Vatican announced that some of those living in poverty will be given a chance to pay their respects to the Pope before he is interred at Santa Maria Maggiore. CBC News visited a shelter that the Pope helped set up in 2019.
