Benedict XVI Papal Requiem Mass, Unedited



Plinthos notes.

Wonderful music (Gregorian chant and polyphony, as per Vatican II!) and choreography. Love the pall bearer frock-coat suits and decorum!
Red vestments!
The procession of the remains is not part of the Mass. Penitential rite is not annulled. Mass entirely in Latin! The Gospel should have been Latin.
Pope Francis participation very fitting, using Benedict's ferula again. Final commendation prayers most beautiful.
Gregorian chant Magnificat, at the end, very appropriate!
Should have had large central crucifix of Benedict Liturgies at the portal, instead of amorphous resurrected Jesus.
No casket pall?
No holy water?
