It hasn't been confirmed by the Vatican yet but it probably is only a matter of time.

The man certainly was one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century.  His selection went a long way to changing the lives of millions of people in so many different countries in the world.  I didn't totally agree with all of his policies (I am a practicing Catholic) but I never doubted his heart was directed at what he honestly felt was the best.  

Peace be with him on his journey home.

They say he's still alive with no hope of recovery. A sad day for Catholics everywhere.

I was born in 1983.  I can never remember a time when the Pope could actually speak clearly or even move around.

I hope he can recover, for a guy that has Parkinsons and barely able to speak, he carries the will of God to us Catlicks.

The thread is obviously to pay homage to a compassionate and charismatic Catholic leader. Pope John Paul II is the first Pope in my life time that actually traveled to promote good will.  I actually got to see him speak in New Orleans in 1987, and attended a mass he celebrated. I find tainting this thread with shots against the Catholic religion, disgusting. If you aren't Catholic or don't like Catholics, move on. Why cheapen the thread with childish crap about your imaginary sexual exploits? Its about the Pope, NOT YOU.

That makes no difference, its obvious the Pope is gravely ill, and for some to use this time to cheap shot Catholics or make sexual inuendo, is disgusting. You can't demand someone be inteligent, but you should be able to demand they be civilized.

Did you know that the chamberlain of the Vatican has a silver hammer that he uses to strike the Pope on the head 3 times while calling his name to confirm the Pope is dead?

True.

Agreed, couldn't have said it better myself.

ASTAC, of course you are welcome here.  The Pope did more to bring different denominations and different religions together than any other pontif.  Agree with his beliefs or not he was a voice for sanity in an insane world.  To insult him at this point, where he is close to death, is as classless as someone can get.

I did rout security for the Pope in 84. We were not alowed to turn to look at him go by in the pope mobile but you could feel it in the crowd. It was like the wave at a concert but it was just a rush of breaths being taken in like a wosh.It was pretty amazing.(I looked anyway)

Liar

You just disagreed. None of the suff you labled as inflamatory was vulgar or rude. You just disagreed and used your demigod powers to remove what you didn't like. You proud American you.

But you are a liar, as none of it was inflamatory.
