Ya know, it occurred to me that the next Pope, said by St. Malachy's dubius prophecies to be the "Glory of the Olives," might not be a peace-maker among nations (one way to decipher what olives could symbolize is peace), but among schisms. That hit me when I saw on TV the Orthodox patriarchs pray for the Pope in his funeral mass.

I think those priests you saw were the eastern version of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Eastern Orthodox leaders stood on the sidelines with the other religious leaders in attendance... like the muslims, Buddists, Hindus and others.

They paid their respects but did participate in the service.

There were a couple of threads with pictures about this subject after the funeral.
