You know I was raised Cathoic right here criticim from former Cathoic myself they look like so called lost sheep without shepard even he was a former Pope is criticism right on the $$$ Thousands flocked to the Vatican on Monday to pay their final respects to Pope Benedict XVI, who died on Saturday at the age of 95. A long queue formed around St Peter's Square at dawn for the former pope's lying in state. It comes ahead of his funeral on Thursday. The body of Joseph Ratzinger has so far remained in the small private chapel of the monastery where he lived since his renunciation in 2013, located in the heart of the Vatican gardens. On Sunday, the Vatican released the first photos of the body, lying on a catafalque, dressed in red - the colour of papal mourning - and wearing a white mitre adorned with a golden braid, a rosary in his hands. A crucifix, a Christmas tree and a nativity scene are visible in the background. www.euronews.com/2023/01/02/pope-benedict-xvi-thousands-flock-to-vatican-city-as-lying-in-state-begins
