Can Someone Explain to me why.......
So I am at the gym this morning doing cardio and most if not all the TV's are carrying the Popes funeral. It seemed to be a touching funeral service (no pun intended to the priests there), and although I am a non practicing catholic, I was wondering something.
Why was the Pope lying in a plain wooden box? Although this thing could have been made out of Maple or Birch or some other hard wood, it could as easily been pine. i would have thought he would have been in a more ornate casket. Anyone else see this?
