On Thursday morning, February 28, I found CNN featuring a continuous shot of a helicopter. The network cut between a close-up and a distant dot. It was Benedict, flying from the Vatican City. This was extraordinary attention for an ordinary cardinal, because as Benedict told the throng awaiting him, "I am no longer Pope." I am not a scholar of Catholic history, but I believe we were witnessing the first time the Papal throne was vacant while an elected Pope was alive.

En la mañana del Jueves 28 de Febrero, la cadena de noticias CNN transmitía la imagen constante de un helicóptero. Alternando entre planos cortos y largos. Era el helicóptero que transportaba a Benedicto XVI desde el Vaticano. Inusual y extraordinaria atención para un cardenal, ya que Benedicto le dijo a la multitud que lo esperaba, "ya no soy Papa." Yo no soy estudioso de la historia católica, pero creo que hemos side testigos de la primera vez de la vaciedad del trono Papal, incluso cuando un Papa electo aun se halla con vida.
