LIVE NOW: Pope Francis Laid Out In Open Coffin; Final Humble Gesture Breaks Centuries-Old Tradition

Pope Francis laid to rest in an open coffin during the rite of Confirmation of the Death of the Pontiff at the Chapel of Santa Marta in the Vatican. His final humble gesture breaks centuries-old tradition as Pope Francis is laid out in a single coffin, instead of triple-nested coffin. Cardinals have assembled at the Vatican this morning to start planning Francis' funeral and the elaborate rituals marking the end of one papacy and start of the next. In the coming days, the Congregation of Cardinals will prepare for his burial, plan the conclave to elect his successor and make other decisions about running the Catholic Church. Watch-
