I heard that the reason the Queen couldn't abdicate was that her mother was still alive and they couldn't think of an appropriate title for her, I think the closest they came was "King Grandmother", which, let's be honest, just wasn't going to work.

World mourns Pope's passing
By Denis Barnett in Vatican City

Church bells rang out across Rome after the news
POPE John Paul II died today after a long struggle against crippling infirmity which inspired Christians the world over. His death ended a tumultuous 26-year reign that shaped world politics and plunged 1.1 billion Roman Catholics into mourning.
The 84-year-old pontiff died at 9.37pm Italian time (5.37am AEST), according to a Vatican statement, two days after suffering heart failure brought on by two months of acute breathing problems and other infections.
"The Holy Father died this evening at 9:37pm in his private apartment," said the brief statement.
"All the procedures forseen by the Apostolic Constitution 'Universi Dominici gregis' promulgated by John Paul II on 22 February 1996 have been set in motion."
Church bells rang out across Rome after the news.
News of his death touched not only Catholics from his native Poland to the Americas, from Africa to Asia, but untold numbers of other admirers of one of the most popular and recognisable popes in history.
During his pontificate - the third longest in 2000 years of Christianity - he was a master at reaching the masses through the media, displaying public relations skills unknown to his predecessors while at home at the Vatican, as well as on his visits to 129 countries.
But, after he was rushed to hospital on February 1 with breathing problems, his final illness silenced the voice which had given hope to millions living under oppression while frustrating those who rejected his deeply conservative moral views.
In one of the most poignant moments of his pontificate, he was unable to give his traditional message to worshippers in Saint Peter's Square outside the Vatican on Easter Sunday and could barely raise his hand in silent blessing.
After that, his health worsened quickly. A few days later he was given the Viaticum, popularly known as the last rites.
His health continued to deteriorate. He slipped in and out of consciousness and his heart weakened. His blood pressure fell, but Vatican officials said he remained "serene", accepting his fate.
The first non-Italian pope in four-and-a-half centuries, and the first ever from eastern Europe, Karol Wojtyla was the 263rd successor to Saint Peter as Bishop of Rome.

What I'm trying to figure out is why people were praying for him to stay alive, which would mean continuous pain instead of a natural death.

It really was no miracle
What happened was just this:
The wind began to switch the house to pitch
And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch
Just then the pope, to satisfy an itch
Went flying on his popestick thumbing for a hitch
(Munchkin Man)
And oh what happened then was rich
(Munchkins)
The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch
It landed on the wicked pope in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked pope
The house began to pitch, the pope took a slitch
It landed on the wicked pope in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked pope
Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch
Of what was once the wicked pope
(Munchkin 1)
We thank you very sweetly for doing it so neatly
(Munchkin 2)
You've killed him so completely
That we thank you very sweetly
(Glinda)
Let the joyous news be spread
The wicked, (really) old pope at last is dead
(Munchkins)
Ding-dong the pope is dead
Which old pope? The wicked pope
Ding-dong the wicked pope is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead
Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up the wicked pope is dead
She's gone where the goblins go
Below - below - below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked pope is dead
