Sister Genevieve
Sister Genevieve is an 82-year-old French nun who has gained attention for breaking church protocols by praying over the body of Pope Francis, a close friend she developed a bond with over 20 years. Their friendship blossomed after Genevieve initially met Francis, then known as Jorge Bergoglio, in Buenos Aires while mourning her aunt, who was a victim of Argentina's military dictatorship. Throughout their relationship, they collaborated on humanitarian efforts to support the poor and marginalized. Genevieve's recent act of prayer during a time when public access to the pope's body was restricted has sparked discussions about the boundaries of religious protocol and personal devotion.
