One of the posters made mention that the vast majority of the Cardinals that will choose the next Pope were made Cardinals by this Pope, making it likely the next Pope unfortunately will have similar views to this Pope.
Strange that JPII died on the Feast of Divine Mercy (aka Low Sunday, the Sunday after Easter) and +Francis died on (I guess) Easter Monday Rome time. What are the odds that two Popes so close together would both die in the octave of Easter?
