World leaders slammed after people spotted ‘disrespectful’ act during Pope Francis’ funeral

Pope Francis was laid to rest in Rome after passing away at 88 from a stroke. His body was displayed in St. Peter’s Basilica, allowing mourners to pay respects before the funeral.

However, controversy erupted when a Brazilian priest posted a selfie by the pope’s coffin, prompting the Vatican to warn visitors against taking photos. Despite this, many attendees — including world leaders like Donald Trump, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy — were seen taking pictures during the service, which many labeled as “disrespectful.”

Trump also faced backlash for wearing a blue suit instead of the traditional black mourning attire. Critics online condemned both the photography and Trump’s clothing choice, calling the actions inappropriate for such a solemn occasion.
