Re: Pope dead (n/t)
www.foxnews.com has a banner saying the Vatican itself has reported the death.
He had a huge impact on overturning communist governments in Eastern Europe.

Re: Pope dead (n/t)
I think he was a fantastic guy, but his policy on condoms has led to many unneccesary deaths. I'm glad he has dies, as it puts an end to what must have been years of painful living.

Re: Pope dead (n/t)
I was just watching video of his little pope mobile traveling through LA during his visit, and I'm reminded of a stand up comdians joke...
I can't believe the pope mobile, oh he gets shot and dies and goes to heaven for all eternity, wouldn't that be terrible.

Re: Pope dead (n/t)
VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II, the Polish pontiff who led the Roman Catholic Church for more than a quarter century and became history's most-traveled pope, has died at 84, the Vatican announced in an e-mail Saturday.
"The Holy Father died this evening at 9:37 p.m. (2:37 p.m. EST) in his private apartment. All the procedures outlined in the apostolic Constitution `Universi Dominici Gregis' that was written by John Paul II on Feb. 22, 1996, have been put in motion." A service of the Associated Press(AP)

But I am talking about practice, not theory. In practice, not using condoms prolly creates as many lifes as it kills. Your timing of even bringing this up is very inappropriate. [/ QUOTE ] Any lifes created by condoms are likely to be unwanted ones, which is no good thing. I think the timing is very appropriate, because his death is an apt time to reflect on his life.

You blame him by suggesting that people 100% listen to his condom policy while ignoring that all those you refer too somehow 100% ignored his abstinence until marriage policy. The blame goes 0% to the Pope and his teachings and 100% to those who incompletely follow them.
