Paul McCartney's afternoon tea was not exactly at the temperature he most prefers.

To be fair, if you read the article or know about this Pope, you know he probably would not have given a shit (he wanted simple and probably wouldn't have complained). It's everyone else that is complaining.

I do appreciate the more nuanced perspective. I feel like he would have been powerful enough to keep things plain if he wanted. He was one of the highest ranking members of his organization. Promotion from there would require some pretty unusual feats.

I think it's OK. It looks very normal in this video. Not perfect is fine for a Pope who wanted the grave of a normal person.
