'Let the light of Christ shine, not one's own light'
Benedict XVI died emeritus but was buried as pontiff. An ocean of prayers accompanied the funeral rite presided over by Pope Francis on the parvis of St. Peter's Basilica.
In May 2010 in Fatima, Benedict XVI told the Portuguese bishops:"When, in the feeling of many, the Catholic faith is no longer the common patrimony of society and is often seen as a seed undermined and obfuscated by 'divinities' and lords of this world, it is very difficult for it to touch hearts through simple speeches or moral appeals, and even less through generic reminders of Christian values".
