In case any RCs without a padre at hand might find it useful, here (http://www.catholic-church.org.uk/swadlincote/documents.htm) is a link to a prayer service for the Pope (RIP) which may be led by anyone.

I am entirely content to leave to the moderators the question of this thread's locking or deletion, as they see fit.
My purpose was not to start a discussion about Catholicism; nor to garner tributes for the Pope. There are plenty of places for that on the world wide web.
My purpose was to bring an obscure but useful resource to the attention of Catholic service people, some of whom access pprune from places where a Catholic padre is not readily available to them in this time of their loss. If the moderators judge that inappropriate, then, as I say, I am content for them to act accordingly.
