It's always sad to see good people pass on. It's particularly sad to see him go the way he did as it reminds me of unpleasant memories.
Respect the man for what he's accomplished, honor the man for the life he lived and try to leave the personal religious/political feelings out of it. He was an amazingly devout man. And although I certainly can't agree with a lot of his positions, I can certainly respect the man for his dedication and faith.
All that said, the 48 hour 'Pope-fest' that is the cable news networks this weekend is a bit much.
