This will be the third Papal election that I remember, and it is interesting, even as a non-Catholic.
John-Paul II was a consumate communicator, whether you agree with his beliefs or not.
I've had the opportunity to do a lot of things during my career in TV production, but the most memorable by far was directing the international pool feed of a night time Papal prayer vigil/mass and another mass the next morning when the Pope was in Denver for World Youth Day. I don't expect anything I could ever do would be as moving.
A remarkable presence.
