Those across the globe have been in grief since Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, but the Vatican is now advising them to stay away since his body is in an open casket.

Earlier this week, the Vatican revealed that Pope Francis died on April 21 at the age of 88, with camerlengo Cardinal Kevin Ferrell declaring in a statement, “At 7.35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father.”

The Vatican eventually disclosed that Francis died from a brain stroke that caused a coma and irreparable heart failure. Earlier this year, he was hospitalized at Gemelli Hospital in Rome with pneumonia in both lungs and ‘acute respiratory failure.’

Pope Francis’ body has subsequently been placed in an open coffin inside St. Peter’s Basilica, where many have arrived to pay their respects, according to the BBC.

However, the Vatican has apparently enforced a ban in response to certain unacceptable conduct.

According to accounts, a large number of mourners have taken photographs with Pope Francis’ remains.

British mourner Catherine Gilsenan, 59, told Brazilian source Globo (via The Mirror) that she was very upset’ while waiting in line to see Francis’ body but that it was ‘terrible to see so many people snapping photographs.’

Meanwhile, another tourist from Wales told The Daily Mail, “What surprised me was that we were instructed not to take photographs in the Sistine Chapel, yet here people were taking selfies with the coffin.

“I did think that was a bit in poor taste, and I’m surprised no one stopped them.”

According to The Daily Mail, officials did not issue a restriction on taking images with cameras; nonetheless, guards reportedly prevented a few people from snapping photos.

The Vatican has purportedly issued some regulations. According to The Mirror, guards will now advise visitors who come within 30 feet of the Pope’s body to put their phones away or face seizure.

Following Pope Francis’ death, nine days of mourning will begin, followed by a procedure known as the ‘papal conclave’ to pick his successor.

The Catholic College of Cardinals will assemble to pick the new Pope, and they will all cast their votes by writing the name of their preferred candidate on a ballot and setting it on the top altar inside a locked Sistine Chapel.

To be elected, a candidate must get at least two-thirds of the votes. If no candidate can secure two-thirds of the vote, cardinals will vote again.

These votes might occur up to four times each day.
