The Pope came out for his last last Sunday blessing and thousands came out to see him. That is a tribute to him and to Catholicism. He also announced that he was changing the rules for his succession and allowing an earlier start. When the rest of the Cardinals get there, it is time to get a Pope so that one will be there for Holy Week. No need mourning for a dead Pope, this one is alive and giving it up voluntarily. Makes sense to me.
So we will wait to see the white smoke and read all about the possibilities of who will be Pope. Whoever emerges, there is much to do and much to be reviewed. Blessings on the one who comes forth now and during the rest of his pilgrimage.
