Pope Benedict XVI after retirement : What will he wear and how to address him

http://www.ewtnnews.com/catholic-news/Vatican.php?id=7113

Pope Benedict XVI, after his retirement at 8.00 pm on Thursday, 28 February 2013, will be known as the Bishop Emeritus of Rome, and therefore can be addressed as such, as His Holiness Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus, or Roman Pontiff Emeritus.

Pope Benedict XVI will also abandon his red papal shoes and wear a brown shoes given to him at Leon, Mexico, and he will also wear a white cassock as he wear now, but without the shoulder cape or more appropriately known as the pellegrini (not mozzetta as mentioned here, as mozzetta is of a very different type, and red in colour for Popes).

He will also wear the Episcopal ring he had from the time when he was Cardinal Ratzinger (given by Pope Paul VI in 1977), as the Ring of the Fisherman he received in 2005 will be destroyed, similar to what happened when a Pope passed away.

Passing of Deacon William Steltemeier : Solemn Holy Mass of Christian Funeral / Burial

I have received the news of the passing of Deacon William Steltemeier, who was the founding president and chairman of the well known Catholic media network, EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network), whose work with Mother Angelica who founded EWTN, had made EWTN what it is today, reaching out to many with their daily broadcasts and programs.

May God receive him back in His embrace, and open the gates of heaven for him to enter. Requiescat in Pace, Rest in Peace, Deacon William, and pray for all of us!

 

The full Mass of the Funeral of Deacon William Steltemeier can be viewed in the above YouTube video link, by EWTN. A very beautiful Mass and angelic hymns. Parts of the Mass in Latin, and overall a very emotional tribute to Deacon William. Let us keep him always in our prayers.
