Live from St. Peter’s Basilica for the Solemn Requiem Mass for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Unprecedented in the history of the Church in modern time, Pope Francis celebrates the funeral of his predecessor – the first time a pope has done so since 1802 when Pius VII presided over the funeral of Pius VI. Ahead of his funeral, the body of the pope emeritus has been lying in state in the basilica, where thousands have been paying their respects and bidding farewell.
