he certainly in the first years of his papacy did have a lot of energy at that point in time when he went to germany for the first time, for the world youth day. he later went back to bavaria. those were the highlight years of his pontificate. the early stages. then things became more difficult as time went on. this definitely was a ceremony that speaks to the legacy of pope benedict xvi inside the vatican as one of the most powerful people there over the decades but also someone who never lost touch with his roots. i think it s very fitting that you have such a large delegation and so many people coming from his bavarian homeland and from the rest of germany as well, guys. delia, you cover the papacy so closely, and i believe you may have met the former pope benedict xvi as well. for yourself, your team, those around you, with all of the ceremony of today, the funeral,

you have to have some pomp and ceremony for a former pope, but i think within the guidelines of what pope emeritus benedict wanted, it succeeded very well. something that pope benedict would have liked to have the homily focus on the readings and not be a eulogy. very short, very simple, very heartfelt. i think one of the many things i think benedict would have appreciated. john, you follow the vatican very closely. are there any stories about pope benedict or anecdotes that you thought of today that really illuminate the man and the pope that he was? yeah. you know, it s interesting, bianca, all morning i ve been
