Very good pope. No tolerance for priests who misbehaved in the past. Remove those paedophile priests which other popes didn't do. Thank You Pope Benedict. RIP. Justice Done.

Just a MAN!…People act like he’s actually God!..

There is a future pope in that audience

First off I can see this is not about the Mass, as the camara is wandering all over the place. This is just a general view of what is going on and who is there. Clapping is not part of the Catholic Mass or Funerals or weddings, I will never be comfortable hearing it in Church when the Eucharist is present.

As Cardinal Ratzinger, this kindly, gentle scholar was under the authority of his Pope and so cannot be held responsible for the forbearance against the pedophiliacs for which he was ordered. On becoming our leader, we all sighed with relief as he finally began to address the issue. Most of the worst offenders were silenced and moved to positions where they could no longer prey on the innocent. As a teacher, few have attained his heights. While I grieved upon his resignation, I applaud his humility in recognizing that the problems before Mother Church were best fought by another. In his retirement, this Papa was ever prudent, supportive, and helpful ... May he rest in peace.

The beautiful hymns reminds me of my dreams of the voices of Angels singing in heaven, praising God. I just had a flashback of those dreams. Glory to You God, for calling your servant home to join your Angelic Choirs.

Going to a funeral sucks.
Planning a funeral is worse.
The absolute worst?
Being the Guest of Honor at a funeral.
