The funeral for Pope John Paul II is expected to draw millions of people. A group of Minnesota students has been in Rome watching all the developments related to the Pope. They are on a study abroad program through the University of St. Thomas, which has a campus in Rome. Thanos Zyngas is the director of that campus, and he spoke with MPR's Cathy Wurzer.
