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 they just gave it a fresh coat of paint at this point.
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 he looked like an anatomy specimen. It's kinda freaky seeing that outside of a lab.
