'Old Donald' is expected to be seated at the third tier seating at Pope Francis’s funeral at St. Peter’s Basilica. The Vatican does not have sit at the back because they are mad at him. It is so as per the Vatican protocol.

This seating arrangement could irritate 'Old Donald'. We all know how much he tethers appearances to importance. He famously laughed at Former President Joe Biden for being seated in the 14th row during the funeral services of Queen Elizabeth. He claimed he would not have been seated at the back if he was the President.

Pope Francis died with only $100 net worth? Here’s the truth

Marca, a Spanish publication, noted that Pope Francis never accepted the traditional papal salary of approximately $32,000 per month, instead donating or repurposing any personal income. The Vatican later confirmed that he had remained true to his Jesuit vow of poverty throughout his life.

In a posthumously released spiritual testament, Pope Francis requested a simple burial at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome, rather than the more customary St. Peter’s Basilica. He asked to be buried under the name “Francis” with no papal title and requested that an anonymous individual bear the cost of his funeral.

His goal, he said, was “a poor church for the poor” — one that is “bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets.” “If you understand that preaching a God of mercy is central to his ministry,” said Catholic writer Michael Sean Winters, “everything else falls into place.”

“Francis famously called the Church a ‘field hospital,’ not a fortress,” said John McGreevy, author of “Catholicism: A Global History from the French Revolution to Pope Francis” and a Notre Dame historian. “His openness to gay and lesbian Catholics — inconceivable during the era of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI — was one example of his interest in meeting people where they were, not where they doctrinally should be.”

Francis was beloved among many progressive Catholics who saw him as an opponent of culture wars, a vindicator of social justice, and a champion of the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, which modernized and liberalized the church under Pope John XXIII in the 1960s.

Francis fiercely rebuked the “globalization of indifference” and the “idolatry” of money. He explicitly condemned “trickle down” economics as based on “a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.”

His approach generated many enemies on the Catholic right. Breaking with their long habit of deference to Rome, some conservatives, including bishops, excoriated him, sometimes even referring to him as heretical. But Faggioli argued that the burden for the splits did not rest on Francis.

"The new Pope is a humble man, very much like me, which probably explains why I like him so much!" 'Old Doanld' tweeted in December of that year, several months after Francis became pope.

Things soured soon after. During the 2016 election, Francis roundly criticized 'Old Doanld''s campaign proposal to build a wall on the U.S.-Canada border.

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said at the time.

'Old Doanld' - who aggressively courted evangelical Christian leaders and voters during his campaign - fired back immediately, saying, "for a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful."

"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS's ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that 'Old Doanld' would have been President because this would not have happened," he added.

In the letter, Francis tacitly rebuked Vance’s remarks, arguing in part that “the act of deporting people who in many cases have left their own land for reasons of extreme poverty, insecurity, exploitation, persecution, or serious deterioration of the environment damages the dignity of many men and women.”

The 88-year-old pontiff seemed to initially snub Vance over the weekend, having his deputy Cardinal Pietro Parolin and the Vatican Foreign Minister Archbishop Paul Gallagher meet with Vance on Saturday. The Vatican described that meeting as “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.

The church that he leaves behind is remarkably different from the one he was first elected to lead. In his nearly 12 years as the highest spiritual authority to more than a billion people, Francis loosened official attitudes around divorce, de-emphasized conservative sexual morality in favor of preaching the moral urgency of caring for migrants and the Earth, instituted broad reforms to the church government, and made overtures to LGBTQ Catholics, approving blessings for same-sex couples.

Francis showed significant restraint when it came to most diplomatic affairs. Because of complex relations with the Orthodox church in Russia, for example, he resisted criticizing Putin by name over the Ukraine invasion. And because of China’s vast population, he struck a controversial deal with the communist government that ceded some control of the church there in an effort to bring the faithful out of hiding.`
