Pope Francis Funeral Rituals: Faith and Mourning
The rich traditions, symbolic acts, and ceremonial practices honor the passing of the 266th pope during Pope Francis funeral rituals.
Interestingly, Christian believers completely overlook faith, focusing instead on the late pope’s mortal remains rather than his survival.
Sadly, they mourn Francis’s past instead of joyfully looking ahead to his future. Rather than celebrating that he is alive in the “Father’s House” in heaven, they flood his coffin and grave with tears, where only the remnants of his lifeless body reside.
The Dual Identity Behind Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
Jorge Mario Bergoglio symbolically died for the first time when he became Pope Francis.
Copilot: “Namely, when elected, popes traditionally choose a new name to signify their new role and mission. This tradition is deeply symbolic. It draws inspiration from a saint or predecessor the new pope wishes to emulate. In the case of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who became the 266th pope in 2013, he selected the name Francis.
Specifically, he chose this name in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Moreover, this choice reflected his profound admiration for the saint’s unwavering dedication to poverty, peace, and care for creation. Thus, Pope Francis’s decision to adopt this name clearly signaled the values he intended to prioritize throughout his papacy.”
The Transformation Captured in Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
Francis left Jorge behind as a civilian and became a servant. In other words, he was no longer a private individual but a Church official. Furthermore, he became a double servant of god. He was required to serve him both as the leader of the Church and as a believer.
On his tomb, he wished for the inscription “Francis,” rather than Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Namely, as Francis is his official name, this is essentially the same as having “Mechanic,” “Chef,” or “Carpenter” written on his grave. Jorge, a chemical technician, seemingly knew secret formulas that magically paved the way to become pope.
Rituals and Symbolism in Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
The Dual Passing of Francis and Jorge
In reality, two individuals died with Francis’s death, but the funeral honored only one. Jorge will never rest in his native Argentina and will forever remain the posthumous shadow tied to Pope Francis funeral rituals.
As the Pope, like transparent smoke, ascended through the chimney of his deceased body, he transformed back into Jorge once more, as he left the office of the papacy. Someday, we may discover how he introduced himself to our space friends and what name he now bears. After all, many deceased individuals change their names, as they want a new identity with a new body and a new life.
The Controversy and Finality of Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
The former Pope, and Jorge again, is now fallible all over again.
Copilot: “Dogmatically, according to the doctrine of papal infallibility, which is firmly rooted in Catholic theology, the Pope can’t err when he speaks ex cathedra (from the chair of St. Peter). Specifically, this infallibility applies when the Pope defines doctrines of faith or morals for the universal Church.
Furthermore, the promise of Jesus to Peter forms the basis of this belief, which the First Vatican Council formally defined in 1870.
“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it”.
However, it is crucial to emphasize that this infallibility only applies under very specific conditions. In other words, it does not imply that the Pope is free from sin or error in other aspects of his life.«
Understandably, the karmicons chose Cardinal Roger Mahony to seal the coffin. Who else?!
Secretively, he is a specialist in concealing, protecting, and “sealing” cases of child abuse burying them deep underground, and covering them with nasty lies.
In other words, what he closes remains closed.
Consequently, this act ensures that the pope could not miraculously resurrect on the day of the funeral. Roger, the Sealer, locked him forever in the posthumous jail of the coffin.
Symbolically, one could say that Mahony was the final nail in the coffin of Pope Francis funeral rituals.
The Rituals at the Death of a Pope
Copilot: “Traditionally, rituals at the death of a pope steep tradition and symbolism, marking the end of the pontiff’s earthly journey and transitioning him into the afterlife.
Over time, these practices evolve or end, yet they maintain significance in their historical and spiritual context. Below is a comprehensive list of the most notable rites, both ancient and current:
1. Certification of Death
To begin with, the Camerlengo (Chamberlain) officially certifies the Pope’s death, verifying and formally declaring the pontiff’s passing.
2. The Silver Hammer Ritual
Historically, the Camerlengo would gently tap the Pope’s forehead three times with a small silver hammer, calling out his baptismal name each time. Specifically, if he gave no response, the Camerlengo declared the Pope dead.
Books and media widely report this ritual, but little evidence confirms it is still practiced.
For instance, the Camerlengo last documented its use at Pope John XXIII’s death in 1963, calling out, “Angelo, are you dead?” three times before affirming, “Really, Angelo is dead.”
In modern times, popes like Pope Francis and Benedict XVI bypass this ritual. The Vatican now certifies death through medical and legal procedures.
3. Calling the Pope’s Name
Additionally, alongside or instead of the hammer, those present may call out the Pope’s baptismal name three times to confirm there is no response.
4. Destruction of the Fisherman’s Ring
Furthermore, the same silver hammer (or another tool) is used to smash the Pope’s Fisherman’s Ring. This act symbolizes the end of his authority and prevents the ring’s misuse.
5. Covering the Face and Dressing the Body
Following this, attendants cover the Pope’s face with a white cloth. Then, attendants bathe the body and dress it in red pontifical vestments, complete with the miter and pallium.
Moreover, attendants place a red silk cloth over the body, leaving the right hand (adorned with the Fisherman’s Ring) visible.
5. Vigil and Candles
Afterward, they position four large beeswax candles at the corners of the Pope’s bed. Refreshingly, they put a bucket of holy water at the foot for clergy to sprinkle over the body.
6. Kissing the Pope’s Hand
Subsequently, those present, in order of rank, kiss the hand pontiff’s hand and veil his face.
7. Sealing the Papal Apartments
In addition, they seal Pope’s private apartments until the elections of a new Pope.
8. Public Display and Funeral Rites
Later, attendants move the body to St. Peter’s Basilica for public viewing, during which the Litany of Saints is recited. Furthermore, the coffin is now a wooden casket with a zinc inner coffin, rather than the traditional three coffins. The funeral and burial follow, with simplified rites as per the most recent papal instructions.
9. Ringing of the Bells
Finally, the bells of St. Peter’s Basilica are rung to announce the Pope’s death.«
Comparing Pope Francis Funeral Rituals with Other Ceremonies
Ironically, this is supposed to be a “modest” funeral for a “modest” man. If the whole world died, it would not have such a spectacle. Magnificiently, as if it were the opening of the Olympic Games, not the closing of the one human chapter.
Contrast: Modesty in the Funeral of Jesus and Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
Copilot: “Gravely, and in contrast to Pope Francis funeral rituals, the funeral of Jesus began as a solemn and urgent task, given that it took place on the eve of the Sabbath. To begin with, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy and devoted disciple, approached Pilate to request Jesus’s body.
Subsequently, with the help of Nicodemus, they prepared the body according to Jewish burial customs.
Specifically, they wrapped it in linen cloth and anointed it with a mixture of myrrh and aloes.
Following these preparations, Jesus was placed in a new tomb, carved into rock, located within a garden near the site of his crucifixion.
Moreover, a large stone was rolled across the entrance to seal the tomb, while guards were stationed outside to ensure its security.
In this way, the burial marked the poignant transition between Jesus’s crucifixion and his eventual resurrection.”
Humbly, a rather modest funeral for god incarnate, the Son of God, the Saviour of the World, and Founder of the Church.
Reflections on Modern Grandeur in Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
UK: The king is dead, long live the king!
Copilot: “Regally, King Charles III’s funeral plans, code-named “Operation Menai Bridge,” are meticulously detailed and reflect the grandeur befitting a British monarch. Funeral rituals reflect a very different style compared to the symbolic weight of Pope Francis funeral rituals, emphasizing royal tradition rather than spiritual service.
Upon his passing, his body will be moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where he will lie in state for public mourning.
Subsequently, the official funeral will be nine days later, following protocols similar to those of Queen Elizabeth II’s ceremonies.
Finally, the royal family plans to lay King Charles to rest in the royal vault at Windsor Castle, marking the conclusion of a carefully orchestrated farewell.”
The King’s funeral even has a code name, as if it were a military operation.
USA: Hail to the Chief, Farewell to the Leader.
What happens when an American president dies? Can we compare the American funeral tradition with Pope Francis funeral rituals?
Copilot: “Formally, the funeral of an American president follows a carefully orchestrated sequence of events steeped in tradition and national pride.
To begin with, the president’s body is typically transported to the U.S. Capitol, where it lies in state for public mourning.
Subsequently, dignitaries and world leaders attend a state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral.
Finally, they lay president to rest at a chosen burial site, often reflecting personal significance or historical legacy. In this way, the ceremony honors the president’s service to the nation while uniting the country in remembrance.”
Narcissistically, it would be interesting to find the plan for Trump’s funeral. Questionably, if they exist at all, as Donald is obsessing to preside, dominate and dictate forever.
Funeral by funeral, we came down to the last station of a funeral of the everyday man, a hard worker, and a taxpayer.
A common world: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Copilot: “Commonly, the funeral of an ordinary man is often marked by simplicity and heartfelt emotion.
Typically, family and friends gather to pay their respects, sharing stories and memories of the deceased. The ceremony might take place in a modest chapel or at the graveside, accompanied by prayers, hymns, or quiet reflection.
Finally, loved ones lay the body to rest, surrounding it with love and remembrance. They surround him by love and remembrance, as the community honors his life and bids him a final goodbye.”
There is no silver hammer knocking, destroying his rings, and ringing of the bells like in the spectacular Pope Francis funeral rituals. Just a quiet, simple, and cheap as possible funeral.
From Death to Eternity: A New Perspective Beyond Pope Francis Funeral Rituals
Death is no longer as deadly as it once was. By abolishing the Evil Karmic Organization, we buried Death itself. Death is dead, long live Life!
In the Karmic System, the dead stayed alive for one more week after passing. During this time, they reviewed their past lives, and mostly mourning their mistakes and lost opportunities.
Subsequently, the karmicons used special technology to transform them into their incarnants, humans from other planets, who then returned to their ordinary lives.
Life Beyond Earth: A New Chapter for Humanity
After abolishing karmic evil, people on new planets no longer experience death, as they are eternal. The idea of ceremonies like Pope Francis funeral rituals becomes strange, obsolete, and absurd.
Meanwhile, death continues to exist only on Earth, though it no longer wields the power it once had. Our space friends warmly welcome all deceased and virtuous Earthlings. They give them new bodies and relocate them to new planets.
For Jorge applies a different procedure.
Specifically, as the leader of the Church—a criminal organization responsible for causing the greatest harm to the planet—he will be transferred to a division for criminals and wrongdoers. Patiently, he will await the end of the planetary blockade, at which point all Earthlings will come aboard a spaceship.
At that time, the virtuous individuals will move to new planets.
Our space friends will rejuvenate criminals and wrongdoers to the ages of 15, 5, or 2 years. After that, they will hand them over to personality development communities (for 15 years) or their original or new parents (for 5 or 2 years).
Jorge will receive a new chance to start afresh as a child. The same future awaits all other earthly criminals, wrongdoers, and mostly right-wing dictators.
On the new planets, religions, political parties, hostility, racism, homophobia, nationalism, xenophobia, misogyny, and other forms of violence no longer exist.
Instead, people live in peace, equality, and mutual respect, treating one another with kindness, friendship, and love.
Fantastic future after the end of the Earth’s blockade
Read more about the work of the new Cosmic Administration, the end of all religions, and the awesome future of Earth after the end of the planetary blockade in my new Book Series:
“It’s finally PROVEN! God Does NOT Exist The FIRST valid EVIDENCE in History”.
After millennia of speculation, assumptions, and false beliefs, we now have irrefutable evidence: God Does NOT Exist because that is impossible.
The Biggest SECRET in Human History is Finally REVEALED. The truth will liberate atheists from religious and right-wing hatred, violence, and terror. It will help believers sober up, escape their religious delusions, and live in common sense.
You deserve to KNOW.
