There wont be a new pope then, because they would have a long wait. :)

What really happens is that the cardinals vote for a new pope. When they have reached a final decision the ballot papers are burned. The smoke coming out of the chimney is the first indication that the new pope has been elected. Well that is the way it used to happen. :)

i thought the pope was anti-fag :unsure:

:( It's almost always sad when someone dies, I agree with you guys he had a good life and it should be celebrated.

I just don't understand why they won't let them retire rather than waiting for em to kick it. It wasn't nice to watch him struggling to carry on his work and the last couple of days of the media 'waiting' for him to die seemed a bit macabre to me.

I'm not ure you can quit your job as vicar of Christ on Earth. Plus I heard he himself didn't want to quit whatever the cost.
