Thought On The Papacy

Several friends and relatives have asked me various questions regarding my views on the recent death of the Pope. Suffice to say that I'm not Catholic (hence, I'm detached from this in any real sense...it's a "news" item to me) so I cannot empathize with what some of my friends are experiencing, but I sympathize with them.

I guess when you're in the "religion" business, people want you to say something about it. So, my "something" is that I'm not the guy to comment on it in any form or fashion other than to tell my friends I'm sorry for their loss.
