After 26 years of papacy, Pope John Paul II has passed. For the last few days the Vatican has been reporting the health of the Pope. On March 27, Easter Sunday the pontiff was unable to utter words at the service and as the week progressed his health worsened. On Thursday, March 31st there were reports that he would have a feeding tube inserted through his nose to help him eat. On April 2nd 2005 at approximately 2:37 a.m. eastern time, the Vatican announced that the pope had died

Millions of devoted Christians had gathered in St. Peters Square with rosaries and candles since Friday. They all prayed for a peaceful death.
Pope John Paul II had been hospitalized twice this last month as a result of a breathing crisis. A urinary infection caused septic shock a bacterial infection. Septic shock is the result of over relaxed blood vessels. The blood flow slows down and the heart has a harder time pumping.

When a high fever approached, John Paul’s health quickly decreased.
Fifteen to twenty days after death another pope is assigned to take the Pope’s place. Cardinals from around the world will gather in Rome for the pope selection. Cardinal Arinze, a Nigerian Cardinal, is already in Rome.
