Some 100,000 mourners are expected to attend the funeral of Pope Emeritus Benedict as the former pontiff is laid to rest in the Vatican.
The pope has compared his predecessor Benedict to Jesus before tens of thousands of mourners while presiding over the funeral for the late former pontiff.
While tributes to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI continue to flow from world leaders and conservative Catholics, others are highly critical of his pontificate.
Cardinal George Pell and the Catholic Church are being sued in Victoria's Supreme Court by the father of a deceased former choirboy, for psychological harm.
