VATICAN CITY—Pope Francis praised Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s “acute and gentle thought” as he presided over a packed Wednesday general audience in the Vatican, while thousands of people paid tribute to the former pope on the final day of public viewing in St. Peter’s Basilica.
Francis is due to preside over Benedict’s funeral on Thursday, an event that is drawing heads of state and royalty despite Benedict’s requests for simplicity and Vatican efforts to keep the first Vatican funeral for an emeritus pope in modern times low-key. Later Wednesday, Vatican officials were to place Benedict’s body in three coffins—one of cypress wood, one of zinc, and then a second wooden casket—along with a written account of his historic papacy, the coins minted during his pontificate and his pallium stoles.
