After getting the 2:45 a.m. message that Pope Francis had died, Omar was on a plane to Rome within hours. What followed was more than 20 straight days of live coverage with EWTN Español, long days beside St. Peter’s, pilgrims from around the world, and the slow build toward the moment everyone was waiting for.

Then the white smoke came. Omar was sitting there alone, his co-host had gone for coffee, and he launched into the broadcast of his life - only to find out later they were not even on air. Around the Tiny Table, Omar tells Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein what it felt like when the bells began ringing through Rome and thousands of people started running toward St. Peter’s Square.

Omar Aguilar is back with the BeatiDudes to tell the story of covering Pope Francis’s funeral, the conclave, and the first moments of Pope Leo from Rome.
