So, like, there’s gonna be this thing with Pope Francis where they’re gonna be parading through Santa Marta Square and the Square of the Roman Protomartyrs, according to the Holy See Press Office. I mean, not really sure why this matters, but it’s happening.
Basically, the Cardinals decided that the public viewing of Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Basilica will start on Wednesday morning. Right now, he’s just chilling in the Santa Marta Domus for a private viewing with Vatican residents and the papal household. Francis’ funeral is set for Saturday at 10 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET), with Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re leading the funeral liturgy.
So, if you’re interested, follow the live updates here. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s something missing in this whole story. Like, why should we care about this procession? But hey, I’m just the messenger.
