Claudio Lotito Mourns Pope Francis

Lazio president Claudio Lotito mourned the head of the Catholic church with a long message published on the club’s official website, which includes the following extracts:

It was with deep emotion that I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. In these years, the Holy Father has been able to convey to believers and non-believers a universal message of solidarity, inclusion and mercy, always placing the most fragile and the last at the center. In this moment of deep sorrow, we join in prayer that the Lord may welcome Pope Francis into His eternal peace and give comfort to those who mourn his loss. Today the great Lazio family gathers together with emotion and gratitude in memory of an extraordinary pastor, who with simplicity and courage has touched the hearts of all of us.
