Yeah that's what I was wondering as well. Overall it's kind of sad to see a good man go. It has to be at least 15 days from his death according to church law. It will probably be a couple days after that.

I have no idea why some people, not so much on this board, but many in other places are so anti-Pope and anti-Catholic. Can someone enlighten me as to why this still happens because I live in a mostly Catholic area so I don't experience it that much.

There are exceptions, in this case quite a number of exceptions, to every rule, but they tend to be just as activist as the hard core religious fanatics on the other side.

The way they pick the next Pope is similar to American Idol. Each prospect is stood up in front of 2 Cardinals and Simon from AI and they say why they deserve to be the next Pope. Simon usually makes fun of they and commits a sin or 2 while he's doing it too see if he can get them to crack and say they dont want to be Pope anymore.
Then after they are given their yellow slips to show that they can proceed to the next round, they go to the local Motel 8 and get a good nights sleep...or so they think. Six army officers come rushing in and tell them that round 2 is actually the training course at the local military base. They are rushed out of bed and pushed into a black van with no windows and driven 3 hours to the base. They then have to go through the same obstical couse that you go through at training camp...but with one catch, they have to do it blind folded while carrying a basket of rotting monkey heads, and if they drop any of the monkey heads they are eliminated.
After round 2 they are put in a real hotel and invited to have dinner the next day 1 at a time with Gary Coleman. After the dinners they go into the ballroom and Gary hands out 2 roses to whomever he liked eating with the most.
The third round is the most difficult by far. Each of them is put into a cage with a man eating lion who is on the brink of starving so they are really rabid and angry. They have to fight the lions to death and obtain a key from within the lions stomach. The key opens a chest in the middle of a wrestling ring, and in it is a frozen tuna fish, which is very helpful for the final round because once they are both out of the cages they have to fight eachother to the death, and of course whoever wins that fight becomes pope.
Or at least thats how I think they do it, I might be wrong.

Has the lion ever actually won the right to the Papacy?
