Cardinals congregate for the first meeting in the Bologna Hall at the Vatican. Pope John Paul II’s funeral will be held Friday, and his remains will be interred in the grotto of St. Peter’s Basilica where pontiffs throughout the ages have been laid to rest. The College of Cardinals held two meetings over the course of 2 1/2 hours in its first gathering since the pope’s death and ahead of a secret vote later this month to elect Pope John Paul II’s successor.
