Well...the fact that it's unscheduled is really the church's fault. I mean really, they should've picked someone to succeed JP II when he starting getting his ass kicked by Parkinson's a few years ago. Seems to me that would've been the responsible thing to do (although not wholely sympathetic). It seems ironic that his stay as pope was marked by unprecidented travel around the world, yet in his last few years it was all he could do to lift his head up.
