I'm a former mortician. The pope's body will be displayed in an open casket for a very long time so it practically needs to be pickled. That level of preservation comes at the cost of the body becoming as stiff as a peice of furniture and the skin having a greyish tone.
I thought he looked like an anatomy specimen. It's kinda freaky seeing that outside of a lab.
Weird way to respect the deceased.
He specifically did not want to be on display like this so there's no respect being applied what so ever.
I thought they just gave it a fresh coat of paint at this point.
