I'm not Catholic, nor did I need to be to appreciate the ceremony.

I didn't watch it live, but I did watch stretches of the replay coverage this afternoon while flipping back and forth with the ballgame.

At times it was very moving and the ceremony was awfully nice despite the ad infinitum of 'Vatican' experts commentating on the ceremony. I found it quite humbling when I noticed that the "most powerful man in all of Christendom here on Earth" was laid out in a relatively plain coffin in the piazza.
