The Sacrament of the Sick, or “last rites,” have been administered to Pope John Paul II, according to CNN.
Earlier today, when I learned that Terri Schiavo had died, I privately thought to myself, “What will the news media do if the Pope dies on the same day?” Heaven forbid, but that looks less far-fetched right now.
UPDATE: Story here.
UPDATE 2: CNN is also reporting that there are no plans to take the Pope from the Vatican back to the hospital.

“…I privately thought to myself, ‘What will the news media do if the Pope dies on the same day?’ Heaven forbid, but that looks less far-fetched right now.”
Yeah. Less Private, too. :\
I dunno what the News Media will do, other than Go Nuts as per Standing Orders. :> But ~ not to be Unduly cynical here :| ~ I’ll tell you what some of His Holiness’s faithful flock will do (even if it’s not on the same day but God forbid, still Soon). They will try to Make something of it. Sign from Heaven & so forth. “See? See?” Jesus is coming and man is He steamed.
May Almighty God receive the soul of Terry Schindler Schiavo into His eternal Love; and in His infinite Mercy alleviate the suffering & strengthen the health of His brave and faithful servant Karol Joseph Wojtyla. Thy Will be done. Amen.
