A death verification ceremony for Pope Francis will happen at 2 p.m. ET today in the chapel adjacent to his Saint Martha residence inside Vatican City.
After the body lies in rest in the chapel, the cardinal serving as the pope’s camerlengo, the Vatican official who manages the papal household, will make the arrangements for the funeral. He is also tasked with running the Vatican until a new pope is elected. The current camerlengo is Cardinal Kevin Joseph Farrell, appointed by Francis in 2019.
The deceased pope will be dressed in his simple white cassock and red vestments, then placed in a simple wooden coffin. This will be carried in procession to St. Peter’s Basilica, where the public viewing will take place for the next three days.
A Vatican spokesperson said Monday that “the transfer of the body of the Holy Father to the Vatican Basilica for the homage of all the faithful could take place on Wednesday morning.”
I honestly don’t care who the next Pope is. It has no bearing on me whatsoever. I’m not Catholic and I don’t believe the Pope is the next in line from Jesus or whatever it is he’s supposed to be. I look at Vatican City… see what it is… what it has/owns… and that’s all I need to just say “I don’t think so”.
I was thinking the same thing Peter Turkson comes to mind . Plenty of story about him being the first black Pope .
Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, 78, is Ghanaian. If chosen, he would become the first African pope in 1,500 years.
Now that will make every liberal demoRAT happy as hell for about two days , then back to whining about President Trump and burning cars !!!
The Catholic religion has a huge stain that will never be erased away . Those Catholic priests were allowed to continue to rape young Alter boys and the church moved and hide them time after time so they wouldn’t face justice . They went from one community to the next raping and raping with the full knowledge of the entire Cathic order . Shame
I know quite a few people who were victims of the church, and they have nothing but vehement venom for the church and all its givings. Besides that, its also the catholic church who has undermined our immigration laws by funding the illegal migration through south America. The catholic church is nothing but another political organ that does the globalist bidding.
Fucking beyond tired , so sick of the DEI mentality . blacks continually talk about discrimination based on race but want to skip every line regardless of being even close to qualified !
If they don’t get their way they march in front of stores and businesses and then it turns violent with damages adding up to millions ,then every politician gives them the key to the city .
WHO SAID VIOLENCE DOESN’T PAY ???
