Pope Francis' beloved football club in his native Buenos Aires, San Lorenzo, celebrated a Mass late Wednesday dedicated to its most famous fan two days after his death, with Argentina still awash in emotional tributes to the first Latin American pontiff.

Francis' devotion to San Lorenzo de Almagro isn't just a nostalgic footnote — it's a window into the soul of a pope who knew what it meant to love fiercely, hope deeply and stay loyal — win or lose.

The Pope died at the age of 88 at 2:35 (Argentine time). 88235, the number of his membership card in the Argentine team. The death of Pope Francis has shaken the whole of society. The Pope's condition was quite delicate until today when his death was confirmed.
