Not so fast, Leicester Cathedral — Richard III was a Catholic, and his last resting place should be in a Catholic church.
So argues Elena Curti, deputy editor of the London Tablet, following the news that archaeologists have confirmed the discovery of the king’s missing remains under a car par in Leicester.
“The ‘appropriate’ rites would surely be a Catholic funeral with a full Requiem Mass, and only a Catholic church will do for Richard’s tomb,” she writes.
