00:00A Catholic church in Johannesburg, South Africa, organized a Mass on Wednesday to pay tribute to the late Pope Francis.
00:07During the Mass, the Regina Mundi Catholic Church had a series of speeches and tributes from archbishops and members of the Catholic community.
00:15Pope Francis as a Pope did his part. The Cardinals as well have spoken on several occasions.
00:21For example, Cardinal Abongo has even been criticized by the DRC government for standing up against the ills that are happening in his own country, the DRC Congo.
00:34So whether we have a black Pope or an Asian Pope or a European Pope, what we want is just somebody that will continue that legacy of Pope Francis, of promoting peace.
00:47If the next Pope is from sub-Saharan Africa, he will be the first in Catholic church history.
00:53Catholic Africans think it is a long shot, though some are cautiously optimistic that Pope Francis' successor could be a black Cardinal from the continent.
