Spain declares three days of mourning for Pope Francis

Spain will observe three days of mourning to honor Pope Francis after the Argentine pontiff's death on Monday aged 88, Justice Minister Felix Bolanos said in a televised address.

"We regret the death of a good man and a great pope. Therefore, the government of Spain will declare three days of official mourning," Bolanos said, praising Francis' "reformist" 12-year papacy that "will leave a legacy for history."
