Szymon Piegza points to changes in the conclave. “It was never so varied”


The journalist pointed out that in the case of procedures “there will be a very big change, which is already a surprise at the moment.” – Most likely on Wednesday, the coffin with the pope's body will be moved to Saint Peter's Square, where, as the spokesman of the Vatican announced, the faithful in principle from around the world will be able to say goodbye to the Holy Father personally – said Szymon Piegza.
The interviewer Marcin Zawada pointed out that it would not be a catafalk and three coffins, as in the case of previous popes, only one coffin. – The Pope really broke up with a long tradition of burials of heads of the Catholic Church. I think that this pontificate at all is a pontificate of great changes – answered Szymon Piegza.
Onet's journalist pointed out that the next changes will apply to preparations for the conclave. – It has never been that the composition of the cardinal college was elected so much by one pope, in this case by the last Pope Francis. He was never so diverse, because today we have cardinals from all over the world. Even from the most distant parts of the world, incl. from the Pacific Islands – he said.
