CNN is reporting that the roads into and out of the Vatican are closed in expectation of Pilgrims and well wishers for the Pope.

They're also reporting "cardiocirculatory collapse."

I wonder if the Pope's desire to stay in his own residence is a sign of his making peace with the end of his life, and a way of avoiding some of the more invasive, life-prolonging treatments that might be used.

Whatever happens, I wish him a peaceful passage into whatever comes next.



When they're trying to elect the next Pope...will there be a Vatican-Cam, showing us the black or white smoke?

I'm not sure if it's disrespectful as much as probably close to the truth.

I'd fully expect that someone will train a camera on the Vatican.

There's a full hospital room setup in the Pope's residence, but yes, that might avoid at least some things.

Most probably...I fully expect there to be 24/7 coverage on all the cable news stations...
