The Catholic Church on Thursday conducted a unique ceremony that blended centuries-old funeral rites with newly-created adaptations as it bid farewell to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who died Saturday at the age of 95.
“We now offer our final goodbye to Pope Emeritus Benedict and we commend him to God, our Merciful and Loving Father,” declared Pope Francis, Benedict’s successor who oversaw the hour-long event.
“God’s faithful people, gathered here now, accompany and entrust to him the life of the one who was their pastor,” Francis said. Afterwards, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re passed around the former pope’s coffin with incense, a traditional and symbolic funeral rite.
