Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re used the homily to criticize the president, who was seated in the front row to hear it.

Summary

Donald Trump may have gotten his front row seat at Pope Francis’ funeral, but the Pope rebuked him from beyond the grave anyway.

Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re said: “Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions … ‘Build bridges, not walls,’ was an exhortation he repeated many times.”

Trump and Francis had clashed repeatedly over the years, beginning in early 2016.

The homily may only have been an implicit rebuke, but it was a deliberate and pointed one from the Vatican in front of millions watching.
