The Vatican has published the brochure for Benedict XVI's funeral.
Most strikingly, for the first time since at least the 6th century, the Roman Canon will NOT be used at a Requiem for a Pope.
Also, the Gospel will not be solemnly sung in Latin - which has always been the case at such a liturgy.
Francis, 86, will not celebrate but be present in a cope. Nevertheless, he is referred to as the "presider". His parts are labelled "The Holy Father", but at the Eucharistic Prayer the booklet simply refers to "the celebrant" that is Cardinal Re, 88, the Dean of the College of Cardinals.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
