this is geting even more confusing....

What's the problem? These things are often shrouded in confusion and rumour. It goes with the territory.

mmm supose, you would just think, that things might be a bit more organised.

Why? The only confusion is as a result of the media's appetite for a constant flow of new information.

And I don't necessarily mean that in a censorious way, as I am glued to the news as much as the next person.

One thing is certain:

The Pope, like everyone will eventually die.

At the moment, all the media is on a deathwatch. It sounds horrible, but we do rely on the media to tell us what is happening in the world.

Does anyone know who will break the news before 10. Bill mentioned there would be a update before 10 if there was any developments. I presume Sophie would take this.

I heard that too - news people are now quoting religious leaders as saying he is 'touching the hand of God'.

One has to wonder whether today's media frenzy has been premature and he will hang on for days or even weeks.
