Pope John Paul II

I was sad to read this. It has been reported that the pope has recieved his last rights.

I pray that he recovers.

I don't know what else to say. I know that I am not the most loyal member to the church, but I still hold great respect for him. The only way I could explain his position to those not of the Catholic faith is that he is a father figure that all look up to in the church.

I feel wierd writing this since I know there are very few Catholics who come here. Still, I wanted those who might have missed the news to know.

I say it is sad when anyone dies but look on the brightside. At least we can get a newer better pope. Maybe the next one can like perform miracles and stuff or maybe speak in tongues. That would be sweet! He could be Superpope! Fighting sinful crime by night and praying for people by day!

Thanks for the humerous optimism:)

I hope that the next pope will be comparable with Pope John Paul II. Though he was not Superpope, it will be difficult for the succesor to fill his shoes.
