I read something very similar on [livejournal.com profile] fifitrix's journal earlier. I also find the photography angle disturbing, but I'm not entirely sure why.

I find the photography side unsettling too. As someone is work said "It's like they want to put their arm round him and give a thumbs up and say 'This is me and the dead pope.'"

Visiting dead bodies is something I will do if really necessary and very close family. I wonder if he's being premptively venerated as a saint?

Yeah, I suppose the veneration of relics is what this is kind of closest to.
