DR Congo Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya died Sunday in Paris, France, just five days after being evacuated for urgent medical care. He had been in a critical state.
The 81-year-old was made a cardinal by Pope  Benoît XVI at the consistory of November 20, 2010, and participated in the 2013 conclave which elected Pope Francis.
Highly respected, Monsengwo was one of eight prelates chosen by the Pope to support him in reforming the Roman Curia and revising the apostolic constitution Pastor Bonus.
In October 2012, he chaired, alongside Pope Benedict XVI, the last Synod on the New Evangelization organised in Rome, a few days before the opening of the Conclave.
