You know I really respect the man.  I'm not Catholic but John Paul II is a guy to respect no matter what faith or religion.  He's toughed it out for quite some time and he's done alot of things that I figured he'd never be able to do in his condition with the sort of thing that he no doubt goes through each and every day.

You hope for the best for anyone but this may be it for him.  It was said some months ago in a visit to Poland that it would probably be the last time he visited his home country.  I think people are being realistic about his situation.

He's a tough old pollock...we'll see if he can pull through!

Stupid, stupid, stupid, mofos! :hopping:

They never frigging learn!

Goddam morons!

You can't run one of the largest organisations in the world by choosing the oldest, most decripit, person for your leader every single time.  Why can't they pick someone who's 40 instead of 70+ when they take up the job?

Having said that, I don't wish him any specific harm.... :blah:

Seriously, for all the things they put the man through, I hope he dies and gets some rest.

After being the pope, it means he'll go to heaven by Christian logic, right?

I really wish him heaven, they've used him enough.

I heard from somewhere that the current pope said that his successor will be the anti-Christ. *hands out grains of salt*

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
