One of the most remarkable sights at the event was the large number of people who came to witness the interment of the Pope.
According to some counts, over 200,000 people were at the St. Peter Basilica where the Pope lay in state.
Some social media users find it remarkable that the church was able to organise such a big event in a short while.
They insist that the organisational skills of the Catholic church were unrivalled, since the attendees were orderly.

One of those who praised the Catholic church was Reverend Father Kelvin Ugwu, a Catholic priest.
“I am proud of how everything was organized. Pope died on Monday, and in just 5 days, they put up everything and catered for over 200,000 people. This is the meaning of being ready at all times.”
Father Ugwu, who is on a mission to the Gambia, was reacting to another post by Munachiso Obika, who was also praising the Catholic church for how it handled the burial.
Obika said:
“The burial of Pope Francis showcased the Catholic Church’s outstanding organization, structure, and order, which are worthy of meticulous study. What is heavenly is heavenly. The first law in heaven is order. Over 200,000 people seating calmly in one space without push me I push you, no stampeding, no loss of human life or items.”

Simon Peterkin said:
“Tomorrow, Sunday — instead of humbling themselves to reflect, pray, and mourn like true shepherds, some pastors will sadly still chase “relevance” by attacking the Catholic Church. The very man they once labeled the “anti-Christ” — Pope Francis — has gone to be with the Lord.”
Blessing Ojochegbe Okpe said:
“When it has to do with orderliness and organised structure many pastors reference catholic, when its has to do with facilities management and institutions like school and hospitals many pastors reference catholic church I am not a catholic but I do commend them for commitment and dedication. Nonetheless, the goal is to make heaven irrespective of denomination.”
