The text states that 2 billion viewers watched the funeral of Pope John Paul II on TV. That's like in many cases of big events - the numbers of viewers are grossly exaggerated. I suppose that a very considerabloe number of Roman Catholics may have watched but the interest among the other Christian denominations and among other religions was very likely not as big. In addition, the funeral took place at 10:OO CET, that's 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time or 1:00 a.m. for Pacific Time when people could be expected mostly to be asleep, and for Europe it was during work hours when many people did not have time to watch. I think that "2 billion viewers" are unrealistic and exaggerated. Anyway, no source for this figure is given. -- Maxl ( talk) 21:56, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Let me go to the house of the Father. and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 6 § Let me go to the house of the Father. until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 07:55, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
Death and state funeral of Pope John Paul II → Death and funeral of Pope John Paul II – Due to a discussion at Talk:Death and funeral of Pope Benedict XVI#"State funeral" or not?, it was noted that the fact the funeral of John Paul II was a state funeral was dubious. Therefore, I open a debate here about this artocle (about John Paul II).

State funeral makes sense, because he was a head of state & government, from 2005 to 2013. Funeral makes sense, because he didn't die in office.
