    A French nun who traveled to say goodbye to Pope Francis in the Vatican this week was allowed to break church protocol. The 81-year-old Sister Genevieve Jeanningros had a close, four-decade-long friendship with the late pope. In video taken of mourners at St. Peter's Basilica, Jeanningros can be seen standing in area traditionally reserved for cardinals, bishops and priests — positions held only by men. In the video she can be seen praying near the pope's coffin for several minutes before saying her final goodbyes.
