In the poor Zabaleta district of Buenos Aires, amidst precarious houses and narrow alleys, María Ayala walks the same streets Pope Francis walked during his years as a priest to reach the local parish, which is now opening its doors to remember him. Francis, the first Latin American head of the Roman Catholic Church, died on Monday after suffering a stroke at the age of 88, leaving a legacy of defending the poor, trying to modernize and open up the Church, and leading a humble lifestyle.
