I have a somewhat practical question. I do not mean to take away from the beauty of these ceremonies, because I am deeply moved, but having said that, can anyone tell me how the Popes body was prepared for all of this. I don't want to sound harsh, but wont he smell by Friday during the funeral?

Any doctors in the house that can answer?
