When will the Pope die?

[Oh8ch]

If he is anything like the great man everyone says he is he better not die between 6:00 and 10:30 (plus any OT) tonight.

(This post ought to get me fairly deep into the levels of hell.)

I hear Michael Shiavo has already demanded they remove his life support and let him die in peace.

Didn't see that one coming.

Every strain of my semi-strict Catholic upbringing has been stirred by simply clicking this thread...

I feel dirty...

I hope the pope hangs on for a week or two. That way I'll get to watch the media try and keep this story alive when there is nothing to report.

I think the only reason he has hung on this long is that he has Louisville and North Carolina in the finals.

I think he is holding on till Sunday, just like Gen. Stonewall Jackson did after being shot a few days before (not comparing the two, but Jackson always said it was his wish to die on a Sunday).

You can't beat 2 deathwatches in a week!


I say he dies tomorrow, the Lord's Day.

Edit - Feeling more like saying a prayer than a joke after all.

And a great man he was - indeed.

I'm not Catholic but understand the importance of the Pope and his work.

RIP John Paul.

BTW, Pop John Paul's real name was Karol Wojityla.

I always wondered what his real name was and decided to look it up today.

Could anyone explain to a non-Catholic like myself, how they choose the papal name like John Paul II?

 

[Eberts_fat_lip]

The Pope chooses their own papal name, I think that Pope John Paul the 1st, was Pope for a very short time and died unexpectedly, and Pope John Paul the 2nd took his name in honor of him
