In a poignant farewell to Pope Francis, Sister Genevieve Jeanningros, a longtime friend of the pontiff, was visibly emotional as she bade him goodbye. Known for her service to the disadvantaged while living in a camper outside Rome, Sister Genevieve reflected on her close relationship with Pope Francis, which began during his tenure as Bishop of Buenos Aires. Notably, she recalled how, after she criticized the church's neglect at her aunt's funeral, Pope Francis personally reached out to comfort her. Their bond exemplified a deep trust and personal connection developed over the years.
"I shared with him how the church had failed to honor my aunt and I was met with a personal call from him that very evening."
"It was a true friendship that blossomed during his time as bishop, marked by our honest and open conversations."
