The Vatican shared the first photos of Benedict XVI laying in state.

He stopped wearing them when he resigned the active Papacy. But he never resigned totally from his office. That's why he still dressed as a Pope in white with the zucchetto.

So far, they are honoring Pope Benedict XVI exactly as a true late Pontiff would be honored. I hope the turnout of faithful for Pope Benedict XVI at his funeral is huge, close to or even more than for JPII in 2005. God Bless Pope Benedict XVI.
