As you will know the Pope has died. RIP.
He was very ill for a long time and given his age one would assume he wouldn't survive. He was obviously a strong gentleman and managed a brief spell on the balcony not so long ago to say hello to his people.
Even then it was obvious he was gravely ill.
So --- why are some surprised and shocked he has passed?
I'm not Catholic but realise how important this is to the Catholic people. I believe he was the first Pope to recognise Homosexuality was not a crime so good on him for that.
Our news will again be taken over by one news item and everything else pales into significance.
