Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is laid to rest

The coffin of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was closed on January 4, 2023, and the next day, after a funeral mass in the square of St Peter's, he was laid to rest in the same grave as his predecessor John Paul II previously.

I am not a religious person. Still, I have the most respect for the church. It is an institution that connects people across all borders. This is how the 10 commandments apply to me as well. A guideline in life. The church is also the binding agent of social life. now I see how desolate, lonely society has become without the church in their neighborhood. Everyone now lives on an island.... Rest in peace Pope Benedict XVI.

[@sundayekenedirichukwu6168]

I just wish you can actually try and go into religious life and you will enjoy inner peace and fulfillment in christ than never before

[@georgejungle5661]

I think with what u said, u are more religious than most people who claim to b religious. Keep on searching cuz in the end, u will find Him! Peace bro!

You are right, It is very sad but this is true. God bless you, i hope you will find real faith to Christ 😊

[@raffaellaborghi6730]

the velature of the face is a terrible moment because is there that the " familiar" broke that umbilical cord that connects them to the missing loved one and Father George here being familiar has to cover the face and as expected broke in tears and visibly crying in pain

It is well documented how he sent known predators to work with children. Calling him "A wonderful human being" is a disgrace.

I am not a catholic but here I express my deepest respect for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. This funeral ceremony was very beautiful and worthy of applause. The tunic in which they dressed him was perfect. I just think shoes shouldn't be black but white.

[@beegee22]

I was expecting red Papal slippers.

[@BetoMcFly]

@@beegee22 The outfit was perfect but I found the black shoes strange. This must be part of some catholic church rite.

[@hendrikharryg]

The shoes were actually those he preferred to wear in his emeritus years afaik. One of the few items he discontinued from his papal dress. So in a way, they seem fitting.

I really appreciate the care and respect of everyone involved as Pope Benedict is laid to rest. Even to the closure of the casket.

[@museluvr]

"It is noted that when he and his brother Georg were ordained on the 29th of June, 1951 by Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber of Munich - the same man Ratzinger had met as a child (who by his garb, Ratzinger declared he would be a cardinal someday). He recalled: "at the moment the elderly Archbishop laid his hands on me, a little bird - perhaps a lark - flew up from the altar in the high cathedral and trilled a little joyful song". (from the Wikipedia page on our late Pope Emeritus Benedict). You can't tell me that the lark' reaction was heaven singing praises to a new successor of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[@virginiaburmester4238]

A great Pope who was misunderstood. I admired him from moment one. May he rest in Peace.

[@hakancarlsson2881]

What is there to misunderstand about him sending known predators to work with children? It's well documented and I'd like to hear you explain that.

I take an agnostic view upon the world, but I also recognize the value and power of ceremony and moral offices such as the papacy. Getting to see the internment of a pope is fascinating. I thank the Vatican for allowing this part to be shared. Ruhe in Frieden, Benedikt.
