Fox news showing the Pope as he makes his "address" to the crowd from a window, describing him as "alert" and "in charge".

LOL. Then you see the Pope, leaning sideways in a chair with a blank expression on his face like a puppet, with his babysitter at his side.

The Pope probably doesn't even know where he's at.....alert and in charge my arse.

The blank expression and posture are typical of advanced Parkinson's disease. It's due to a deficiency in movement, not a sign of cognitive decline.

Yes they are but the only comforting fact is that with Alzheimers the person who is suffering from it has no idea they are.

I'm sure you would find that funny if one of your own parents had the disease.

Karol Wojtyla

"Before he became the Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, Successor of St. Peter, Prince of Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy, Sovereign of Vatican City and the only pope featured in a comic book -- Marvel doing the honor in 1983 -- Pope John Paul II was Karol Jozef Wojtyla.

Friends in Wadowice, a town of 8,000 Catholics and 2,000 Jews 35 miles southwest of Krakow, called Wojtyla "Lolek." Lolek was born in 1920, the second son of Karol Wojtyla (voy TIH wah) Sr., a retired army officer and tailor, and Emilia Kaczorowska Wojtyla, a schoolteacher of Lithuanian descent."
