400pm Bush addressing the nation: “A good and faithful servant of God has been called home…he was an inspiration for millions of Americans and so many more throughout the world…We’re grateful to God for such a man, a son of Poland who became the bishop of Rome and hero for all the ages.”
Video of full statement will be available at the White House website. Trey Jackson already has it up.

Other world leaders react, including Tony Blair…He was “‘revered across people of all faiths and none.”
