Ivana's ashes in that coffin. Probably lots of Top Secret docs and who knows what else he is hiding

By tradition, the Church buries the Pope within three ostentatious nested coffins, but Pope Francis broke with that tradition for a simpler single coffin. Zinc is commonly used in a coffin.
Why would you link this Pope, who pretty much has been an awesome human being his whole life, with Been-a-Dick Trump's wife?
Are you being intentionally offensive?

She was cremated, but her casket obviously contained more than her ashes. Her casket was then buried in an unmarked grave at one of his golf courses. People have wondered ever since why her casket weighed so much. It also, I think, took 12 pallbearers.

My comment is not meant to be disrespectful to Pope Francis in any way, but rather regarding Ivana Tramp's heavy coffin which theoretically was filled only with her ashes. I viewed her pallbearers maneuvering her heavy casket down the church stairs.
