Editor’s Note: On first sight, this decision appears to be nothing but respect for the Catholics who voted him into office.
On second glance, it certainly will be an occasion for the newly elected American President to meet with many world leaders who also value and respect the role the Catholic Church has in international relations and domestic affairs.
But on third view, it also means that Donald Trump wants to impress upon the Cardinals that they better not elect another open-border, tear-down-those-walls, pro bloated-government socialist cleric like Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
But on a forth consideration: Pope Francis was a Freemason; his own security chief at the Vatican Embassy in Argentina admitted it. Thus, all the leading Freemasons round the world will come to pay their respects to him for having single-handedly destroyed the Catholic Church more ably than any of their past plans and projects.
The attendance of the U.S. President, finally, aslo means that on Saturday, Rome will be crawling with U.S. Governmental staff, CIA agents, NSA spies, FBI officers, and the President’s personal bodyguard, the Secret Service.
Why, there will be more concealed pistols and machine guns, than available parking places!
The Funeral will be held in the Piazza of Saint Peter’s, which during Papal Masses, such as this, is part of the Vatican Territory, though it is otherwise part of Italian Territory. However, it is certain that the security forces of both States will be most active in and about the Piazza on Saturday, especially since the American President has been the target of multiple assassination plots in the last year.

President Trump has a duty to attend the Pope’s funeral and not because he cared for him. I will never forget that picture of Trump smiling beside the pope, while Francis was giving his sour face look that he gave to all conservative western leaders. I remember how much he beamed in the presence of Maduro, Castro, and Morales. Birds of a communist feather, flock together.
Hi Brother
A friend of mine sent me this link showing the wake of the pope with masonic symbolism. If this is true, it is a great opportunity to show all those pro Pope Francis catholics how masonic he really was; so much so that his wake has and maybe his funeral will have masonic symbolism.

It’s a modern style of architecture of one of the many chapels at the Vatican. I do not see anything Masonic though, but perhaps I am looking at the wrong thing.
