Aides have given him last rites for the second time.  The first being after he was shot in 1981.

edit:  What is causing so much trouble is a urinary tract infection combined with high fever.

Oh now, I'm not being mean, I'm just indifferent.  Hell I think it's very impressive how he's managed to hang in there in such poor health for so many years.  Obviously he is determined.  If I wanted to be mean about it, I would have used the word "Finally."

A-It's "You're".

B-It wasn't an opinion, it was a comment obviously intended to bring that stupid Schiavo crap into this thread.

Word.

That man, whether you agree with him or not, did a lot to help bring down the Iron Curtain.  He went to places no other Pope had, praying with Muslims in a Mosque, meeting Holocaust survivors and apologizing for the church not doing more during WW2, and the list goes on and on.

Agreed.  Even though I don't believe in the religion he represents, he did a lot of things that were generally good for humanity, regardless of religion.

I'm Roman Catholic and didn't agree with a lot of the eddicts he put out.  I respectfully disagree, I think he's needlessly hard on divorcees and should have brought the child molestation fiasco under control a long long time ago.  I think we've got a church that's sadly out of touch with society.  

But that's a different discussion for another day.  The man has put everything he has into his role, and for that, I commend him.

Discovery had a nice Bio on him on Easter.  If you had a chance to view it, its very impressive.
