Pope Leo XIII in state as death rites proceed in Rome
Reports that Pope Leo XIII’s body showed decomposition were denied by doctors who said the body is well preserved after embalming. The funeral mass was held in St. Vincent and Anastasius and a royal chapel service followed. Thousands viewed the pope in Saint Peter’s as heat threatens quicker decay and an anticipated funeral date. The pope’s will leaves property to his successor and presents to family and physicians. Many prayed as crowds passed the bier, with women carrying children.
