Whether you're a Catholic (devout or lapsed) or not, religious, atheist or otherwise, Pope John Paul II kept the universal church relevant in his 26-year papacy.
The Vatican announced his passing, which occurred approximately at 14:37 ET.

Now begins the hard part - getting a new pope with the skills and charisma to fill the Shoes of the Fisherman.
Rest in peace. May the Lord give you the r'n'r that you deserve.
