... the TV cameras will be outside the cathedral, not inside.

Probably the Rooney family requested privacy. They're expecting a lot of former Steelers to attend, plus high-ranking Democrats so it will be a zoo. Don't forget that 2 of Rooney's grand-nieces are famous actresses - Rooney and Kate Mara. There will be a lot of people in the Cathedral this morning.
