Funeral of former pope taking place in Vatican City today
The leader of the Catholic church on the Island has praised Pope Benedict XVI's 'intelligent and intellectual approach' to leadership during his time as pontiff.
The funeral of the former pope has been taking place in Vatican City today, led by his successor, Pope Francis.
Monsignor John Devine says the two popes had very different styles.
But, he believes both have their strengths:
