DN: John 11 clearly means His people will NOT die. It must stick in your goose craw to read His words. All the saints are in heaven and they hear our prayers. They pray for us, therefore you are clueless, Bozo.

The second death. Again, look it up.
The resignation of Pope Benedict comes as a surprise. Now all eyes will turn to the College of Cardinals, which will elect his successor by Easter (this year, near the end of March).
Although I am not a Catholic, the news of the resignation was profoundly disheartening to me. Notwithstanding its flaws (or, more properly, some profoundly flawed leaders), the Catholic Church has been stalwart in standing as a bastion for eternal truths, even when they are not popular.
