WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement upon attending the funeral of Pope Francis:
"It was an absolute honor to be invited by Speaker Johnson to be part of the Congressional delegation attending the funeral of Pope Francis at St. Peter's Square. As a member of the Catholic Church, joining fellow Catholics from around the world in prayer for the soul of Pope Francis was a deeply humbling experience I will never forget.
"Pope Francis left a lasting impact on the faith community and shaped a significant era for the Catholic Church. I will forever remember meeting him in August 2023. May he be granted eternal rest and rise in glory with Christ."
