World bids farewell to ‘a Pope for humanity’
The funeral Mass in Rome was telecast live to churches around the world from Paris's famed Notre Dame Cathedral to a seaside park in Manila.
"He has had a huge impact on us, we are the generation of John Paul II," said Florence de la Rousserie, 27, one of 7,000 worshippers who filled Notre Dame. "He has taught us all the rules of Christian morality, of spirituality. I am moved. I am sorry."
