Well... he is pretty old. Do we need hope?
I think some news reporters interpreted this wrong
"The Pope's vicar said the pontiff was already "at one" with Jesus Christ."
thats why they think he is already dead

That sucks, but whatchagunnado.
After a few weeks following his death, the coucil will be called (the 117 (as of now) bishops who are under the age 80) and will stay isolated until someone is elected by a 2/3 majority with the 34 rounds allowed or if that fails one of the two with the most votes. You can tell when it happens because they then burn the balllots and you can see the smoke coming out from a very specific chimney.Originally Posted by eestlinc

Thats realy sad. Although I'm not catholic, I keep the pope in high honor.

He has not yet left this world, but he's prepared to do so. He's undergone the Catholic equivalent of the Last Rites, and has refused to be admitted to hospital...
A sad time. He's been a good leader of the church for a long time now.
I aint Catholic never will be i hate the Catholic religeon in alot of ways nor am i totally religeous i dont really believe in re;igeon untill i have a reason too
hopefully the Pope will die peacefully and get away from his pain and worries
LET THE HAMMER FALL
I don't agree with the Catholic religion, but anyone's death is sad so it's pretty unfortunate.
No matter what you believe, every sensible person will agree: Pope John Paul II was a great man. I doubt we will see magnanimity such as this in a leader for a long, long time.
Edit: What if this was the Vaticans idea of an april fools prank?![]()
the man that the entire religion depends on...exept for god of course its still pretty sad![]()
Eyes on the World is for serious posts, not your pointless posts ~m4tt
LOL!GOOD-1-!1....nah
Regardless of what one thinks of his proclamations, Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II) has led a remarkable life and has been at the forefront of numerous efforts to make the world a better place. Although it seems many here disagree with his often conservative social outlook, the Pope has striven to reach out to all those in need, and has brought about great change in the Catholic Church. Although there is room to disagree with some of the things he has said in the past, Pope John Paul II has truly been a force for peace and love in the world, which is something I don't think anyone will want to disagree with.
With all due respect, this thread was created in order to pay respect to the man. I would ask that this "April Fools" discussion on the matter be discontinued.
