Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it: a beautiful funeral for a miserable sinner

Why is Biden who favours partial birth abortion and gender reassignment at the late Pope's funeral? 

Why wasn't he excommunicated, come to that? I believe Pope Benedict XVI ordered this but Cardinal McCarrick, as he then was, didn't pass on the order.

Why are Messrs Trump and Zelensky in the front row? For peace making reasons? Catholic sovereigns and princes should be first, followed by Protestant ones.

Here's an example of BBC bias. The reporter on BBC World TV this morning in the middle of much verbiage said the Pope opposed birth control 'which the Philippines badly needs'.

The reporter won't get disciplined as he would had he attacked Islam or Judaism.

If only the Mass on Sundays could be Latin and sung and dignified. Only in St Peter's does one get Latin Mass easily. 

It was for alphabetical reasons that the presidents of Iraq and Israel were close to each other but it turned out that this didn't apply to the USA and Ukraine, because the countries are listed by their French names. However the rule was bent so that Mr Zelensky could be a few seats away from Mr Trump.

David Blair in the Telegraph said:

When historians study the funeral of Pope Francis, they may conclude that the Almighty’s impeccable timing showed once again His wry sense of humour.

...A strictly alphabetical seating plan would place Ukraine and the United States side-by-side, with Zelensky and Trump close enough to share a programme for the three-hour ceremony of sermon and ritual, or just exchange furious glares.

In fact, the Vatican prefers to order countries by their French names, which should create a safe buffer zone between the États-Unis and Ukraine. Yet even that cordon sanitaire will inevitably include the leaders of other European countries that Trump would gleefully hand over to Russia to be transformed into real cordon sanitaires.
