Sede vacante
The links we provide on the right side of the screen allow you to link to the Vatican. Now that the Apostolic See is vacant (with the death of Pope John Paul II, mind you (none of this, it's been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII nonsense!)) the Vatican has changed the web site to reflect the current vacancy. It is rather interesting to see it this way. Go to the link and take a looksy. There is great information and stats on Pope John Paul II.

Also, the web site for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has some great texts for prayers for the repose of the Pope's soul and it, too, has information about the Pope's life and stats, etc. I think we will have to provide the USCCB link on the right side of the screen in the future. I just noticed we don't have it and that is a pretty big lacuna.
