A touching moment turned tense when an African man, who had patiently waited in line to pay his final respects to the late Pope, was suddenly denied entry. According to reports, he was informed that worship services had been abruptly suspended at the time he attempted to access the remains of the late Pope Francis to pay his last respects to the pontiff.
However, the man observed that others—specifically white visitors—had been allowed inside earlier. Visibly upset, he questioned the decision, asking, “Is it because I’m Black? I just wanted to say goodbye to him.”
His powerful words echoed through the scene as he added, “Even before God, you want to discriminate against us?”
The incident has since sparked a wave of emotional reactions online, with many calling for answers and accountability.
