“He was buried in the Vatican’s small German cemetery, which is more commonly a final resting place for aristocrats and bishops.’

Very cool that the Vatican allowed the burial of a homeless person in an area that previously had been reserved for small Germans.

The state of the man's soul is all that really counts.

“For over 25 years he attended the 7:00 Mass”, Fr. Silvestrini told Vatican Radio, explaining why he wanted a homeless among the shepherds in the Nativity Scene. “

And for 25 years no one in the Vatican saw fit to help him get housing, etc. They gave him a "home" only after he died? Despicable.

Pope Francis was not involved in an early January decision to bury a homeless man in a Vatican cemetery, a spokesman said Wednesday; however, he would likely be pleased because it corresponds with his desire to make the poor a priority.

What a crappy sentence about "making the poor a priority". The empty body no longer needed anything as the soul was already departed for destinations dependent on whether or not he had been saved. The poor would be much better served while they were still alive.
