Let us just have some time to mourn him, like mentioned, before the news media and others start pushing how screwed up his beliefs are.

Excuse me...I have a soapbox to climb off of...

<<end of rant>>
May I just add one thing? I'm not a Catholic, either, but the Pope represents millions of people around the world. No one is asking anyone else to rend their clothing and sit shiva or such.

But allow those around you to mourn. It's one of the more important things you can learn to do in life. At some time in everyone's life, one will mourn a loss, and you'll need someone to be there for you, just as you have the opportunity to be there for others now.
