so what do they do from here how do they pick a new pope?
Hmmm....a few minutes ago cnn.com had a huge red LATE BREAKING NEWS banner at the top of the screen announcing he had died, now the banner is gone.
Eh, CNN reported Tom Ridge resigned about two months before it actually happened, so who knows.

Vatican: Pope's condition has worsened
Statement says pontiff's breathing is shallow, kidneys deteriorating
BREAKING NEWS
MSNBC News Services
Updated: 1:15 p.m. ET April 1, 2005VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II was clinging to life but his condition worsened when his breathing became shallow and his kidneys stopped functioning properly, the Vatican said Friday. Some reports said the pontiff had slipped into unconsciousness.

"The general conditions and cardio-respiratory conditions of the Holy Father have further worsened," the Vatican said in a statement issued at 6:30 p.m. local time (11:30 a.m. ET). "The clinical picture indicates cardiocirculatory and renal insufficiency. The biological parameters are notably compromised," said the communique issued by papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
"The Holy Father with visible participation is joining in the continual prayers of those assisting him," the Vatican statement said.
But Italy's APCom news agency, without citing sources, reported late Friday that the pope was unconscious. The Vatican earlier denied another report by the same agency that claimed the pontiff had slipped into a coma.
The bronze door beneath a portico off St. Peters Square which is traditionally shut when a pope dies had one of its massive doors closed early Friday as about 30 police officers stood nearby. The door normally is closed every night at 8 p.m. and reopened the next morning.

Regardless of your Religious views the funeral will be spectacle of the highest order and the selection of a new Pope should be very interesting as well.
thier saying the machine that shows his heart rate and brain activity was showing false readings
so if he stops showing brain activity hes braindead.
if the heart stops for more than 1 minute at room tempature hes clinicaly dead.
all this is according to a doctor on CNN

I know it's incredibly twisted....but I have actually wanted to see the whole process of new pope selection.Damn True said:
I vote Illkoolkeg as new Pope....
I don't recall the process from the last time, but I do remember there being considerable resistance to John Paul being Polish.
BTW, JPII was an alpine climber & back country skier in his youth.

Chorus:
The pope smokes dope, God gave him the grass
The pope smokes dope, he likes to smoke in mass
The pope smokes dope, he's a groovy head
The pope smokes dope, the pope smokes dope
(oh yeah! 3x)
*
God is high on mescaline, Satan's high on smack
Popes in Rome get stoned on grass, Jesus freaks are back
Jesus Christ a super-hippie never shoot up junk
Popes in Rome get stoned alone, priests, in church get drunk
(Chorus)
Now Jack 'n' Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water
Jill forgot to take her pill, now she's got a daughter
Taking pills is not a joke for a groovy Pope
Birth control can be a toke of marijuana smoke
(Chorus)
The pope is getting higher (re: higher! higher! - 4x)
(Chorus)
Cha! Cha! Cha!
Falwell is getting better, unfortunately.ghostrider said:

Madonna Like A Nun?
Wed Mar 30, 8:05 AM ET Entertainment - E! Online Gossip/Celeb

It looks like Madonna might have to justify her costume.

The Material Mother of two and former Catholic-turned-Kabbalah devotee is being taken to task by conservative Catholics angered that she and her director-hubby, Guy Ritchie, showed up at a bash celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim dressed as a nun and pope respectively.
William Donahue, president of the Catholic League, verbally crucified the pair, arguing that their appearance at London's Kabbalah Center Purim Party, drinking and dancing in clerical attire, was offensive coming on Holy Thursday, three days before Christianity's most revered holiday, Easter.
"They're trying to tweak Catholicism again by exploiting the Jewish holiday," Donahue told E! Online of the couple's appearance. "She needs to be beaten with a ruler by a real-life nun and he needs to paddled on his behind by a real-life priest. That would please the Catholic League."
The Catholic leader was none too pleased to see Madonna, 46, decked out in a nun's frock and wearing crucifixes for the festive occasion that commemorates the biblical exploits of Queen Esther who saved the Jewish people from certain destruction at the hands of the Persian king while in exile.
But Donahue reserved the most ire for Ritchie--who was garbed in a gold-trimmed white ecclesiastical robe and matching skullcap--calling him "morally depraved."
"Certainly my Jewish friends are not going to be endorsing somebody who rips off their religion to make an untoward statement against somebody else's religion," he said. "Madonna's such a buffoon that we come to expect it and her husband is a jackass."
Donahue also noted that Ritchie's outfit was poorly timed, given Pope John Paul II's feeble health and the fact that he's been hospitalized twice in recent days.
"It's particularly vulgar to [dress up like that] at a time when the pope is failing at his health," he added.
Donahue suggested the couple "move to the Muslim camp" and see what happens when they get a Fatwa.
However, the "Like A Virgin" singer's rep, Liz Rosenberg, dismissed the furor as much ado about nothing and said the get-ups were simply part of the Purim tradition in which revelers don costumes.
"No disrespect was intended," Rosenberg told the New York Daily News. "Madonna dreamed of becoming a nun when she was a little girl. She said, 'Finally, I'll make my father proud!'"
This obviously isn't the first time Madonna has incurred the wrath of the Religious Right.
In 1989, the video for her hit "Like a Prayer" sparked major controversy when it showed the entertainer wearing a crucifix and dancing in front of several burning crosses. The uproar from religious types and threats of a boycott prompted Pepsi to pull out from sponsoring her world tour that year.
"Sister" Madonna has since bid goodbye to Catholicism and threw herself into studying Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism. And in an ironic twist, she also adopted the ancient Hebrew name of Esther in her religious studies.

If I get all pissy about something, it's either because the person who said whatever was beating the same dead horse into shoe leather once again or I didn't get laid the night before.

Yes! I LOVE that! It's a big tall guy in a tiny car and Nelson laughs at him and he says "are you laughing at me because I'm in this tiny car? What if it's the only car I can afford?" and he makes Nelson walk down the street with his pants around his ankles and everyones laughing at him! HAHAHA!
