00:00Catholics, including interim Prime Minister Alex Didier Philzeme, filled the Church of St. Peter of Petionville in Port-au-Prince in Haiti at a mass to honor the late Pope Francis, who died aged 88 on Monday.
00:15Pope Francis never visited Haiti but maintained a connection with Catholics on the island. Francis also elevated Chibili-Langlois from the position of Archbishop to a Cardinal in February 2014.
00:29L'Anglois will be part of the conclave, choosing Pope Francis' successor. His appointment was seen as Pope Francis reaching out to the developing world, the margins of the Catholic Church, and looking towards developing countries dealing with poverty and violence.
00:46Speaking at the mass, Archbishop Max Leroy-Messidor also praised Francis for his achievement during his time.
