Benutzer:Mogadir/Liste der Wuerdentraeger des Begraebnisses von Papst Johannes Paul II
Dies ist eine Liste der Würdenträger des Begräbnisses von Papst Johannes Paul II.. Nach dem Tod von Papst Johannes Paul II am 2. April 2005 im Vatikanstaat und bevor offizielle Einladungen des Kardinalskollegiums gesendet wurden, hatten bereits rund 200 Länder Interesse bekundet Repräsentanten zu den Begräbnisfeierlichkeiten zu entsenden. Das Begräbnis fand am 8. April 2005 statt und war die grösste Ansammlung von Staatsmännern in der Geschichte. Einige der Würdenträger haben ebenfalls an der Einführung von Papst Benedikt XVI. am 24. April 2005 teilgenommen.
Um es in Einklang zu bringen, jeder interessierten Gesellschaft, welche den Wunsch an der offiziellen Teilnahme an der Totenmesse bekundet hatte zu ermöglichen, wurden die Anzahl der Mitglieder durch den Heilligen Stuhl, für jede offizielle diplomatische Delegation auf fünf begrenzt. Eine Ausnahme bildete hier nur die polnische Delegation, da dies das Heimatland Johnnes Pauls II. war, sowie für die Delegation von Italien. Zusätzlich zu jeder offiziellen Länderdelegation, konnte eine beliebige Anzahl von offiziellen Regierungsvertretern als Pilger während der Totenmesse, ausserhalb der Basilika teilnehmen.
Während des Begräbnisses wurden den Würdenträgern in alphabetischer Reihenfolge in der französischen Aussprache ihres Ländernamens, sowie des diplomatischen Protokolls Sitzplätze zugewiesen.

Notes
Bearbeiten- Vorlage:Note Commonly known as Taiwan: "China" refers to the Government of the Republic of China (ROC), rather than the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which does not have relations with the Holy See and did not receive any invitations to the funeral. Although the ROC Government resettled on Taiwan at the end of the Chinese Civil War, the Holy See still recognizes the ROC, but not the PRC, as "China". [1]
- Vorlage:Note The low representation of Monaco is due to the death of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. Monaco's head of state died two days before the funeral of the Pope.
