Mourning the Pope

» BBC News | Pope John Paul II dies in Vatican
Pope John Paul II, the third longest-serving pontiff in history, died in his apartment at the Vatican on Saturday. He was at the age of 84.

When I watched BBC News, a reporter discribed him;

John Paul is the first global pope, and he is also the first pope who died in the globalised world.

The New York Times has created special sections for John Paul. Click "The Life of Pope John Paul II" and "The Next Pope" in "Interactive Feature". You can see selected pictures.
