unfortunately humanity has always been a bit morbid...
when people were still leaving in little communities (villages or orthers)
there were 2 things that were generating rumors: sex and death (and 3 in england with weather...)
medias have just enlarge and internationalised this phenomen...
and for the pope... well i don't think medias are the only responseable (if medias may be responseable which is not proved yet)... there is also the will of some others to make a show of the weakness and the dying of an old man...
is it a sufficient reason for not speaking about it?
