Well, then I heard on the radio today that they had not been summoned because that isn't done until after the Pope has died.
Information is still confused, apparently. Maybe they've been put on notice that the summons is imminent.
Well, I'm sure they are probably clearing their calendars for the next several weeks. In any case once he does pass it will be followed by nine days of mourning then the conclave will assemble in the sistine chapel and the process will begin then...
Without JPII, Poland would not be free and the Soviet Union would still exist/be a threat to world peace. He IS the father of modern-day Poland. It's the only country where he hasn't rode in the armored popemobile.
