Cardinals determine public viewing of Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica to begin on Wednesday morning. Francis is currently lying in state in the Santa Marta Domus in a private viewing for Vatican residents and the papal household.

As leaders from around the world pay tribute to the late Pope Francis, China's President Xi Jinping has not offered his condolences.

Worshippers will flock to the Vatican in the coming days to farewell Pope Francis, including the Cardinals who will elect his successor. Former representative to the Holy See, Sir David Moxon, says the Pope chose most of the Cardinals - so he'd expect them to value a warm and loving Church.
