Sen. Rosino Comments on Passing of Pope Francis

OKLAHOMA CITY - Senator Paul Rosino, R-Oklahoma City, today released the following statement after the passing of Pope Francis. 

"As a Catholic, I am heartbroken by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a shepherd of humility, mercy and unwavering faith. He was a leader who challenged us to care for the poor, protect the vulnerable and live out the Gospel through action. His example touched lives far beyond the walls of the Church, and his call for compassion and generosity resonated across the world. I join Catholics everywhere in mourning this profound loss and praying for the repose of his soul." - Sen. Paul Rosino, R-Oklahoma City
