Pope John Paul II succumbs to the gamut of health problems that have been plaguing him for long.. the funeral is going to be held on friday, in a function attended by dignitaries and political leaders from the world over... i know it sounds cliched, but would reiterate the fact that we have witnessed the end of an era, an era of powerful papacy, with a deep rooted belief, innate strength, confidence and a hitherto unseen respect for human rights..
am anxiously looking forward to see the next pontiff in the reigns.. hopefully, from asia, africa or latin america.. LA is home to 50% of the total roman catholic population (about 1 billion).. and am not surprised to see the new pontiff from any of these soccer loving nations.. india too has a fair chance in the papal game... well, but nothing would be predictable when the entire process of electing a pontiff is so complex, so meticulous...
so long
