I think Pope did a good job if to consider on what side he was standing. Popes are the most influential people on this planet, so if to consider the ammount of resposibility and pressure it was put on him, he did it just fine.
I can't be really sad that a man died of aging. It's natural and sooner or later we all be there. There will be a new Pope and a new era of leadership. Maybe I could be sad if I knew him personally but I understand this hype around his death - people love global dramas. I bet some of them are sitting and crying now just like that, just for the drama's sake.
Sorry if it sounded a little callous, well ... I'm not but considering that every single minute several people die on this planet - I can't cry for all of them and the Pope is just one of many who died yesterday.
