'It was just love:' Locals in mourning after passing of Pope Francis
BATON ROUGE - As the leader of the world's largest Christian denomination, Pope Francis' death leaves a lasting impact on Catholics around the globe and right here in Louisiana."Pope Francis was a pope of firsts. He was the first pope from Latin America. He was the first Jesuit pope. He was a person who took seriously the idea of the pope as a pastor, someone who is compassionate and caring about the humanity of all of us and our ability to sin, and also our ability to thrive," Micheal Pasquier
