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.
He wore a blue suit to a funeral? I’m not too savvy on social etiquette in regards to funerals but isn’t that not… Good?
Roughly equivalent to wearing a red cocktail dress to a wedding. It’s not about you and your own personal style, you’re supposed to be there in attendance to honour the hosts & the party(ies) tributed, not yourself.
It depends on the funeral tbh. Where I’m from anyway suits would generally only be family and close friends.
Pope’s funeral though? Black I’d consider appropriate.
