CNN has unconfirmed reports that the Pope has died. http://www.cnn.com/

I feel for the huge numbers of people who will be grieving.

Oh really? wow, I guess so. You'd think CNN would have more self-respect than post a banner before they check their sources.

[wait]

Yup. They yanked it right now after reporting that Reuters was reporting "Italian media" reported his death. How's that for credible?

The news media amuses me. I can picture the bustling newsrooms, full of clueless people saying, "Does anyone know the name of an Italian media source? No? Um, ok, our readers probably don't either, so let's just say 'Italian media' then."

Its not official but Reuters is saying that he passed within the last half hour and that they have to assemble conclave before the Vatican will officially announce it.

Now the Vatican is denying the reports of his death.

Is it wrong that I'm not disappointed at all?

It becomes official, The Vatican just announced it.
