The Pope is Reported to have Died.

This is coming from Rush Limbaugh who is hearing these reports from the Italian press and Drudge's headline as well. In fact it is the only story on Drudge at the moment.

Fox News is reporting similarly.

Pope John Paul II is one of three people who had faith the size of a mustard seed. One died last summer, one had a stroke recently, and Pope John Paul II just passed away. The mustard seed was faith that Communism was destined for the the ash heap of history. Yes, I refer to Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher. It was those three more than anyone else that put Communism where it belongs.

I have yet to hear the churchbells.
