“The Holy Father died this evening at 9:37 p.m. (2:37 p.m. EST) in his private apartment. All the procedures outlined in the apostolic Constitution ‘Universi Dominici Gregis’ that was written by John Paul II on Feb. 22, 1996, have been put in motion.”
A Mass was scheduled for St. Peter’s Square for Sunday morning.
May he rest in peace.

I’m not Catholic
Im Jewish (as all get out some say ha)
so I don’t fully understand having one person as a supreme spiritual leader
and I have not enjoyed this particular popes
views on the gay community.. at all..
but one thing I can say for him
he was not a hypocrit..and I do feel sad today for all the people who do feel he was their spiritual leader..
i will not pretend to understand how it feels to be a religious Catholic today…
but I imagine it must feel quite sad
rossi, you might not have cared for his policies on gays, but as http://donsingleton.blogspot.com/2005/03/clerics-agree.html indicated none of the main three monotheistic faiths agree with homosexuality. However as a Jew you should have appreciated his visit to the Wailing Wall and while there apologizing for the way some Christians had treated Jews in the past.
