The body of Pope Francis is lying in state for several days to show respect and say goodbye. This seems a simple operation but there is a need to tell some people not to take selfies with the body.
What type of person would defile the Pope’s memory in this way? What do you gain with a photo of a smiling face against the solemn reposed body of the Pope? Some people have lost the plot, some are just disrespectful. Vale Pope Francis.
