THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTED THAT THE VATICAN ANNOUNCES
POPE JOHN PAUL II HAS JUST DIED! LONG LIVE THE PAPACY! AND SO IT IS.
IN THE WORDS OF THE FAITHFUL SAINTS OF OLD. . . .
HE SHALL GO INTO HIS ROOM TO COME OUT NO MORE.
HIS BED IS NOW HIS COOLING BOARD AND HIS SHEET IS NOW HIS WINDING CLOTH.
AND, AS IT HAS ALSO BEEN SAID OF ANOTHER. . . .
HE BELONGS TO THE AGES. MAY THE LORD RECEIVE HIS SOUL IN PEACE.
