Francis Has Changed Papal Funeral Rites

Francis has changed the funeral rites of the Roman Pontiff. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano explained that this was allegeldy "needed to emphasise even more that the funeral of the Roman Pontiff is that of a pastor and disciple of Christ, and not of a powerful person of this world."

Francis approved the updated liturgical book already in April, but it has not been published until now.

Changes include:

The determination of death will no longer take place in the room of the deceased, but in the chapel.

The requirement that the Pope be placed on a raised bier in St. Peter's Basilica for public viewing is eliminated. The body can be seen in a simple open coffin.

The tradition of the burial in three coffins of cypress, lead, and oak is abolished.

May he experience it himself soon.

Except that he treats his position like a communist dictator...all while pretending to be humble and a servant.

Last breath of a dying generation.

God willing, they can soon follow the new directive with the present pope.

No worries. A future Supreme Pontiff can and will change it back. And also restore the Papal Coronation as well. A holy, zealous, Tradition-formed Pope won’t let madness like this stand.

Lord - how much longer are we going to have to put up with the charade for? How long, O Lord?

Does it mandate that the corpse be born into the basilica before dawn, through a side door, transported in a cargo van?

Perhaps the rites will soon be utilized.

Maybe this is a sign that Francis does NOT believe he IS the pope.

He does think he is the biss though, and Bishops and Cardinals are afraid to tell people how false he is, so they, by the fear of losing their jobs show he is the boss... unfortunately.

Bergoglio's fake humility is targeting Papacy and Church. It is also a PR trick to gain popularity among naive masses
