Pope Francis Chooses Marian Basilica for Burial

Pope Francis has revealed that he has prepared his own tomb and wants to break with tradition by being buried outside the walls of the Vatican. Despite health problems, he has no plans to resign. The Pope admires the courage of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who resigned in 2013. Pope Francis has prepared his tomb in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and wants to simplify his funeral ceremony. He praised Pope Benedict's decision to step down and confirmed an invitation to return to his homeland from the newly elected president of Argentina, who has been critical of him in the past.
