He is, officially now I see. *Sigh* Somehow I doubt this guy would have wanted the media circus that is going on now. I don't agree with all of Catholocism, but this was a pretty good guy.
It pains me to see all the news sites scrambling to get their pre-prepared banners up for their articles, with the most humble picture of the Pope with "Pope John Paul II 1920 ~ 2005" carefully photoshopped overtop. Knowing that they probably had one ready to go for each of the last 3 years makes it all the more sad.
Well, glad he got a rest, and he gets to meet the big man upstairs in person, I suppose. Rest in peace.
