As a non-religious fellow, i can say that this was a great man,who, while he did make some mistakes, he also did excellent things for the Catholic Church. May he rest in peace.

actually, it has changed over the course of the last 20 years or so. Though it does still convey something serious is going on. It is now known as "The sacriment of the sick", fyi. He is suffering from Septic Shock, and has a very low unstable blood pressure due to collapse of blood vessels. He also has trouble breathing/swallowing. :(

I second that ;).

Nobody should die like that. That's painful as hell, and is by no means necessary.

We need euthanasia for humans :(. If I had to die like that, I'd figure out a way to commit suicide, if I had the strength...

Ummm, you mean by keeping things exactly the same, and ignoring the fact that the preisthood is leading institution for pedophiles to hide, all the while sitting on a vast fortune that could solve world hunger, is that what you mean by good things for Catholics?

Look, he was a,nice old guy, but let's not pretend he was some sort of innovator.

He tried ! Try is for losers. Do is for winners.

The post is about the Pope, not me.

Here's what I would do, if they decide to make me Pope:

  • Admit that sexuality is normal, and that not allowing people to have sex is just weird. Priests can NOW have families and a sex life.
  • Boot all the sexual predators from the Church.
  • Accept Gays in the Church - God loves ALL people
  • Let women be Priests - why not.
  • Take the Billions, yes with a B, and help to feed, house and educate poor people around world.
And I would "actually" do it...

VOR, those are good points. However, given the history of the Church, his lack of evil actions make him an above average pope. If a pope were to publicly state the things VOR meantioned, the cardinals would probably assassinate him.

True he wasn't evil. I'm sure he's a nice old dude, and I guess for most Catholics that is enough. Shoot low I guess.

Yes, if he made any of those moves, he would be the first Pope to lose his job...

It strikes me as odd that non-catholic ppl the world over all seem to be deeply and personally concerned for the intimate health details of the pope. These same ppl don't want to hear the simple details of the ailing health of their close family members. The know the pope has a urinary tract infection, but they could give a fuck that grandpa needs bone marrow, or can't afford his Rx medication. All sorts of random ppl are in a frenzy over "praying" for the pope. My aunt even called me from 2 states away to ask if *I* was saying my prayers for the pope, never mind the fact that her sister is in the hospital with pneumonia and she can't be bothered to visit her. We're not catholic, I am not religious, but she somehow has the time to hassle ME about the POPE!?!?! Sounds pretty fucked up to me.
