Pope Dead?

[Dymphna]

For some reason I was thinking he wasn't embalmed....like a religious thing, but I guess that's autopsies soooooo....carry on!

No, I'm sure he's pickled pretty good. And the autopsy thing, that's a Jewish thing. But as old and sick as the Pope was, they wouldn't have done one anyway.

I was listening to the Today show this morning and found it interesting he will actually be buried in three coffins that stack together. I didn't hear what the first one was made of, but that goes into a lead coffin, and finally they go into one made from elm or oak.

It was all very symbolic. I do remember them saying the elm/oak stood for purity, but I don't recall the other two.

Is everyone still praying for a miracle? Figure TRUE believers would still be on their knees praying for the pope to be resurrected. I mean, if you are going to pray for a miracle lets go for the BIG one.
