While I am not a Catholic, I have found myself mourning the death of the "People's Pontiff", who was buried last week, not in the prestigious St Peters Basilica where most Popes are buried, but outside the Vatican, at the Papal Basilica of St Mary Major, which last witnessed a Papal internment in the 17th century.
