UPDATE: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is lucid, conscious and stable but his condition remains serious, the Vatican says.
“Pope Francis renews the invitation to pray for him and accompany him in these difficult hours,” he said.
Most Vatican experts expect any funeral would resemble that for any retired bishop of Rome, albeit with the caveat that there would be official delegations to honor a former head of state, as well as pilgrims from Germany — homeland of Benedict, the former Joseph Ratzinger — and beyond. Otherwise, while the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano headlined its Thursday editions with news of Benedict’s health, life continued as normal in the tiny city-state that Benedict and Pope Francis call home.
