The Pope takes dramatic turn for the worse
The Holy See is reporting as I type this that the Holy Father's condition has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. According to official reports, the Papal kidneys are shutting down and John Paul II has lost consciousness.The Vicar General of the Diocese of Rome has just celebrated Mass for the Holy Father in the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Pope's cathedral as Bishop of Rome.
RAI television has reported that the Bronze Door beneath a portico off St. Peter's Square which is traditionally shut when a pope dies had one of its huge doors closed as about 30 police officers (it is unknown whether these were Italian police or Vatican security) stood nearby. The door normally is closed every night at 8 p.m. and reopened the next morning.
