Pope Franc

He was known about the Holy Father Puritanrejection of the luxurious lifestyle and spent its papal period in much more modest conditions in the Vatican than its predecessors.

In his native country, Argentina, he was known as Cardinal Buenos Aires that he had traveled with a subway instead of a driver driver. In the later stage of his career, he went to the Vatican to work with a modest blue Ford Focus. He had already taken a lot earlier in his funeral to put the modesty of his life elsewhere and different.

My funeral will be the main test of the new ceremony

Pope Francis said in an interview with 2023.

Everyone does not rule out the world’s leading politicians in the final ceremony. According to Thursday’s summary, 130 delegations will participate, including 50 heads of state and 10 rulers. Among them is Javier Milei, president of Argentina of Ferenc’s homelandwho had previously been disagreed with the Pope because of his economic policy.

The institutions of the European Union are represented by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission Viktor Orbán also Prime Minister. The Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky also announced his participation. Of course, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a Russian leader, does not travel.

Over the past three days, the body of the Holy Father has been placed in St. Peter’s Basilica in an open coffin. Tens of thousands of faithful said goodbye to him. Many were queuing eight hours to get in color.

There was also a heartbreaking event in the last hours of revival. A sobbing nun, who was a direct co -worker for the Holy Father, was allowed a minute closer to the open coffin, behind the cordon to say goodbye to the Chief.

As Blikk also reported, Pope Francis had the final will that Unlike his predecessors, he should not be buried in St. Peter’s Basilica, but in the Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral outside the Vatican. After a long generation, he is the first Pope to ask for a funeral outside the Vatican, with the remains of seven popes rest in this wonderful temple. Pope Francis was clearly closest to his heart, and in 2013 he began his first day as the leader of the Catholic Church. This is the place he visited after leaving the hospital last month and putting flowers in front of the Virgin Mary’s icon before returning to Vatican’s residence.

THE Cnn According to his report, while Francis’s tomb is humble, the basilica above it shines with sunlight and gold. The ceiling is covered with a gilded tree, and the light that infiltrates through high -raised windows illuminates the interior. Mourners and visitors have flooded here since the death of Francis, and I would like to see themselves the place he loved.

The Holy Father insisted on simplifying funerals compared to the previous ones. “Dignity should be done, but only as with any other Christian” He said in his autobiography about his future funeral.

The grave should be in the ground, simple, without any special decoration and a single inscription: Franciscus

The Pope stands in the Vatican’s will.

The papal burial begins at 10 am on Saturday at St. Peter’s Square. His funeral liturgy is led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista re, dean of the Cardinal College. In 2023, about fifty thousand went to Pope Benedict’s funeral, II. In 2005, about 300,000 visitors were out at John Paul’s farewell.

A difficult decision is the issue of succession

The Vatican expects the US to put heavy pressure on the papal choice. Pope Francis has repeatedly criticized Donald Trump, the second presidential office, such as refugees. In this way, many people believe that President Trump is trying to influence the vote more friendly.

« The simplest answer is that there is no possibility, as the question of succession is in the hands of the Holy Spirit, » he said to the question of influence István Gyarmati A political scientist, former diplomat.

– People, cardinals fill the ballot papers, but the decision is made up there. But knowing the great politics, it must be assumed that some indirect attempts to influence through the cardinals, the expert admitted to Blikk.

Otherwise, it is not necessarily a matter of seeing the ecclesiastical leader of their own country on the papal pulpit. There are many countries where the Catholic Church is a strong critic of power practitioners. In the United States, the Catholic Church is not very influential in religion either, István Gyarmati pointed out. But American politics is likely to seek, for example, the successor to Pope Francis of the Philippines.
