Pope-vision continues

All-Pope-all-the-time coverage of the death of Pope John Paul II continues with his funeral, set to get underway from Vatican City Friday morning at 4A Eastern Time. All the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, FNC, NWI, BBC World, CBC, Univision, Telemundo, C-Span), along with Catholic television network EWTN will carry coverage live - most coverage gets underway at about 3A ET.

The Conclave that will choose the next Pope (doesn't that sound like the ultimate reality show? Where's Mark Burnett when you need him?) is set to be sequestered at the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City on Monday, April 18. 116 Cardinals will get to vote for their choice to be the new Pope. The person elected will need to receive two-thirds of the votes, plus one to ascend to the throne of St. Peter.

Four votes per day will take place until the job gets done. The only signals we will have in the rest of the world are black smoke from the Sistine Chapel's chimney if there is no pope chosen, and white smoke accompanied by the peal of bells if there is a new pope chosen.

There's an addition - there'll be a bell ringing, to make extra sure that the message is clear that a pope has been elected.
