Vatican City - Pope John Paul II left a document for the College of Cardinals but it has not yet been opened, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said on Tuesday.

Navarro-Valls was speaking to reporters after 88 cardinals held their third congregation to discuss arrangements for the pope's funeral on Friday.

One of the duties of a congregation after the death of a pope is to read any documents he left, but the spokesperson said that though there was a document, it had not yet been read.
