Apparently the streets have been roped off and all major roads leading into Rome are/have been sealed shut. Sidewalks and city streets roped off as well...news looks very very grim for the Pope....

As a Catholic I pray every day, but I am also praying that our church recovers from the mess it has been in for the last 15 years. A major overhaul needs to be done on the PR front. This is really the only Pope I ever remember through my life. I am going to be 31 next week and with the passing of President Reagan last year...it seals up the end of a major era for sure.

He served humanity well and fought tirelessly for the values he believed in. If it is his time to be called, then I guess all we can do is be thankful for his life on Earth.
Some have said it will be a remarkable coincidence if the Holy Father were to pass away the same day as Terri Schiavo. But if I am not mistaken it is after midnight in Rome so it is already April 1 there.

No they haven't before...some reports have his temp at 105.At his age (or at ANY age really), that's no good at all...what a day this has been.

Fox reported that he is too critical to move to the hospital.....

Ths "smoke watch" is after the burial, and the Conclave is called. That usually will be approx.2 wks. after Holy Father passes.

Are you sure, I thought the smoke meant the Pope has died...

Yes he is correct. The smoke is when the decision is made on who the new Pope is.

I believe it's black smoke when a pope dies and white smoke when a new one is chosen.

I think the smoke is only for the "election" of the new Pope. But, I might be mistaken.

The black smoke means that the election did not result in a Pope, it does not signal the death of a Pope.
