Surely, instead of everyone praying for the Pope, or all the Catholics in Poland being told to not hold back their tears and show their emotions, shouldn't they all be saying "hey John Paul, well done mate, you are finally going to meet your maker. I'm sooooooooooo envious"

Just proves what a load of hyporcites they really are.

Hey ho

Geezer

TBH, if I had just had a heart attack the last thing I would want would be a large crowd of people outside chanting!! I would send someone out to tell them all to pi$$ off!

davegtt

good point that geezer. superb

only problem for me is Im working in naples on monday and going to Rome on Tuesday then Bologna on Wednesday and Milan and thursday, if he pops his clogs next week its gonna be a frickin nightmare over there

Patt@firstime

You'll be busy!

Is GWB going to pass an emergency law to put his feeding tube back in?

SJ_Skyline

Would it be acurate to say that he's about to pope his clogs?

FrenchBoy

Some very overdue clog popping for a bloke that loves the lord.

chaos.

I hope he goes to heaven and god tells him he's done a good job.

Holy Ghost

he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Drunken Bungle Whore

Have to agree - I know he's Gods representative, but he's still just a frail old bloke - it seems more cruel to pray for him to continue living. My old Dad had cancer and if anyone else has been there, they'll understand that we were glad when he was finally out of his pain.

I wonder how many tears those same people shed for the thousands starving every day in Africa, or the earthquake/ tsunami victims or all the other people in the world that would really benefit from some prayer.....

I'll never understand how the Catholic church can enjoy such wealth and opulence as in the Vatican and reconcile it to the "It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" and the whole incidence of Jesus with the traders in the church. Just doesn't make sense to me......

BOB.T

It's all crap and nobodt cares, hit him with a big stick, put him out of his misery and lets move on ffs!

I was nearly late for work today cos the local news, my cue to leave, wasn't on! What have you got to say about that JP?

Davie

What happens when the pope dies?

At least show a bit of respect instead of posting some of the stupid replies above.

Sorry, I can't respect the person who heads up a religions that doesn't respect health and humanity issues (condemning contraception, homosexuality is a sin) and the woman's right to choose what she does with her body.

StickyMicky

1st thing i thought about as well

mart360

How many of you can speak 7 languages fluently, and could do his job for 25 years without fail, survive an assaination atempt, and still carry on??

the guys got more ***** than most of you lot put toghether.

BobT

cant wait for the day your in intensive care with your family around you and
someone walks in and says lets hit him with a big stick and put him out of his misery.. i rekon it would be smiles and cheers all round from your next of kin

what has the guy done that warrants a comment like that..

and if he makes a recovery tommorow!!!!

after all the guys done, let him have his dignity without crass stupid comments

BOB.T

Mart, with any luck I'll have died long before being in the state he's in now, that said if I do make it to that state I'd be glad of some one woodening me, you can be first on the list of batters if you like! Oh, don't let the buggers feed me through a straw for 15 years either!

Personally I can't stand religon, full stop. I can see that a lot of people (sheep) do follow religon and that the pope being ill is news worthy but I'm sick of having it rammed down my throat on every news bulletin! One interviewer asked the reporter at the vatican, what the exact time was when his heart did whatever it did...why, why would anyone need to know that, what difference could that possibly make to anyone other than his closest friends and family? If we're talking about dignity then the press should butt out and leave him alone.

DEEDEE

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, for and against. I have just read the above posts and one person spoke sense. The rest are doing what they say they disapprove of, Imposing their personnel thoughts on others.

sti-04!!

He is just a old man waiting to die

Have some respect some of you

r32

This man has been an inspiration to us all. I'm not a Catholic, but I admire this man above almost all others.

Have some respect, what have some of the moaners done for mankind? When you have done as much as this guy then you can complain.

Its so easy to knock isnt it............. some of you should be ashamed!

super_si

Is it not against the religion(Strict) to prolong death?

Si

r32

Well said.

mart360

Yea right!!!

in the many years i was in the funeral game, i can count on one hand the amount of familys who wern,t saddened or happy that a close relative had gone. despite your comment, i bet pound to a penny, not one of your relatives would see the funny side on clubbing you when you were seriously ill.
Agreed the media gets on your ****, but as you state your not religoius, spare a thought for those who are, and look at what he is ie the head of the church, these people look to him for guidance and support. they want to know, whats happening, and without the luxury of being there, the media is there only way of knowing.

Its a bit hypocritical to start moaning because they time every event and subject it to analysis, ermm try looking every saturday and sunday after every bloody football match that gets shown. 90 minute match , 90 minute bloody analysis and shi*te spouting. one day of covering someone who has done far more in his 25 years than you or i will ever hope to achieve in our lifetime pales in comparison.

I'm not a religeous person, but to me the Pope is one of the most decent people on the planet. Hope he isn't suffering too much.

ProperCharlie

That's all very subjective. I like football. I don't like the pope. What exactly has the pope done for me? Apart from perpetrate the continuation of outdated and IMO unhealthy moral agendas, what exactly are his significant achievements? So he speaks 7 languages. Great. That helps me hugely.

r32

There are few people in the world that will be able to hold their head up high when they meet their maker, but this guy will .......... how many of us can say that?

ProperCharlie

How do you know who your maker is, and how do you know the pope hasn't been doing "bad things" that haven't been made public?

BOB.T

Mart, I don't like footy either! I'm happy for it to exist but only to keep the hooligans out of stuff that I like!

The pope has never inspired me in any way.

People keep banging on about all these good things that he's done, what are they?

Suresh

I'm sure the pope has done a lot of good things. Bringing Poland out from the grip of communism and putting it back on the map was certainly attributable to his influence.

However, being the head of a church that apparently turns a blind eye to pedophile ministers might not be one of them though...

Nonetheless, I believe he was a good man and may he eventually RIP

Suresh

ProperCharlie

Oh, so nothing to do with Solidarity and Lech Walesa, then? Maybe if poor old Lech could speak seven languages, he could get into heaven too.
