rome, vatican city - Rouge over visitors taking selfies with Pope Francis' body in open casket at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome sparks debate on respect and appropriateness.

Controversy Erupts Over Selfies with Pope's Body in Open Casket

Tens of thousands of mourners have paid their respects at Pope Francis' open casket in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, with visitors from around the world waiting for hours in line.

Disrespectful Behavior

Some attendees have been criticized for taking selfies near the pope's body, with comments calling the behavior 'tasteless' and 'disrespectful'.

Extended Viewing Hours

The basilica remained open longer than usual to accommodate the large crowd, allowing people to pass by the pope's casket before it closes on Friday evening.

Preparations for Funeral

Preparations for Saturday's funeral are underway, with world leaders and dignitaries traveling to Vatican City for the event. Pope Francis will be laid to rest in the papal basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

Pope's Health Decisions

Reports revealed that Pope Francis had previously stated his refusal for invasive intubation procedures during his final weeks. His doctor confirmed his wishes, stating that the pope did not want to be intubated under any circumstances.

At 88, Pope Francis spent 38 days in the Gemelli Hospital in Rome before passing away. He had been treated for a double pneumonia, and his condition was critical at one point, requiring additional oxygen and occasional use of a breathing mask.
