Donald Trump and Melania arrived in Rome to attend Pope Francis’ historic funeral, joining dozens of world leaders in Vatican City. As final tributes poured in, questions over seating arrangements stirred quiet tensions, especially for Trump—who previously criticized his predecessor’s distant placement at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. With Argentina and Italy taking protocol precedence, other guests, including royalty and heads of state, are seated alphabetically. While Trump faces a "third-tier" position, Vatican experts assure the event will be a masterclass in managing egos and international dignitaries with delicate diplomacy.

As the world mourns Pope Francis, attention now turns to Vatican City's ancient traditions. The black and white smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel’s chimney will once again guide millions awaiting news of the next pope. Each puff tells a powerful story—black means no decision, white means a new pontiff has been chosen. This sacred ritual, deeply rooted in Catholic history, is the most visible symbol of a centuries-old conclave. Here’s how the symbolic smoke works and what it means in the selection of the next spiritual leader of the Catholic Church.

Pope Francis, who passed away at age 88, will be laid to rest this Saturday at St. Peter’s Square, Rome. Tens of thousands of mourners, including 170 foreign delegations and top global leaders like Trump, Macron, Zelenskyy, and Prince William, will attend. The funeral, led by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, follows a week of tributes from over 130,000 people. Security will be unprecedented with fighter jets, anti-drone systems, and 2,000 officers deployed. In keeping with his humble nature, Francis requested a simple wooden coffin and burial outside the Vatican.
