Benedict XVI was laid to rest in a ceremony that marked the end of an unusual arrangement during which he lived on the Vatican grounds after having resigned in 2013.
Joseph Ratzinger was accused of mishandling cases when he was bishop of Munich, but as pope he was credited with forcing the Catholic Church to face a scourge long ignored.
Benedict stunned the Roman Catholic world by becoming the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign. Now his death leaves a living pope presiding over the funeral of his predecessor.
