There's been at least 12 Pius's..does that count? I actually saw him back in the 90's at the Wednesday audience (well, 50 yards away, but yep, that was him..)
It's sad to see, but the guy was 84..did a lot of good in the years he was there. Now the speculation about his successor begins..

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
