The weather is a bit warm and he won't be buried for a few more days. Uh oh. Supposedly the Vatican think he is a saint and won't rot. It will be an interesting test.
RE: Pope not embalmed
yuk!
lets hope the weather doesn`t get any warmer!
Seriously tho I`m sure the Vatican have taken precautions against that
Their Faith will keep him.

Don't they normally have some kind of refrigeration from underneath to keep the body cool and so - um- fresh?
I hope so for their sakes!

RE: Pope not embalmed
makes you wonder doesn't it really, if he died long before the announcement and they did actually embarm him before they announced his death to anyone, as its bound to be hot and smelly in there now, and wouldn't his bodily fluids start leaking soon?

Probably got some sort of suction device linked up to him, to extract all leaking fluids 😉

RE: Pope not embalmed
There must be some sort of emblaming or preservation going on although as the days went on you could see the deteriation but it was slower than normal, I think that actually being in the cathedral would have preserved him somewhat as it is usually about 5-10 degrees cooler in a church like that as all the marble deflects heat.
