Pope Dead
So the Pope is dead. I've read a lot about him, his papacy and what happens next over the weekend. It was quite fascinating reading, my favourite fact being that although Popes are traditionally chosen from Cardinals technically any adult Catholic male is eligble. I wonder how you go about nominating someone? And who would I nominate? *ponders*
I was also bemused to see the various cover pages in response to his death.
The succinctness of News of the World:

The few extra words of The Independent (in case Pope Dead wasn't clear).

The Pope Quote from The Sunday Times

and lastly the Telegraph leading with the Queen, the Church (CofE - natch) and Charles with a special feature 'My friend the Pope'
