Prayerful, I'm Catholic and believe that most people are mourning the death of the Head of the Church. They are not worshipping the Pope. As Catholic, we don't worship people. In the Catholic religion our belief is that Pope is infallible and is the representative of our faith on earth.
Everything nowadays is blown out of the proportion in the media. This is a big deal because he's been Pope for so long. Most popes last an average of like 10 years. He's been so influential because he's been in the role for so long.
Hero worship is reserved for people who think Elvis is still alive LOL!
Someone else made a comment about the Pope retiring. Papal authority is a LIFETIME GIG. It's not over till you take your last breath.
There's never going to be an American pope because the Catholics over here aren't holy enough (I say that in all seriousness)
