Pope John Paul II - Eternal Allegiance

I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on this already.

Anyway, The Pope has been in critical condition for a while. Now, he has a fever, a UTI, and suffered heart failure all within the last two days on top of his Parkinson's Disease. Not to mention that he is now tube fed. Plus, he has been given the Last Rites (but those can be given more than once). The Pope is 84.

Will we be on smoke watch soon?

Being fed by a tube? Somehow I feel a feud coming on about how he shouldnt be kept alive artificially

Poor guy, he's been through so much!

Its really sad, I cant believe it, I really feel for the man. Words cant express how bad it all is, I hope he is not in too much pain.

Latest report, Its all too sad.

Pope John Paul II's condition has worsened and his breathing has become shallow, the Vatican has said.

The 84-year-old Pontiff is also suffering from heart and kidney problems, a spokesman added.

They won't keep him as a vegetable because the Church needs a leader they can trot out on occasion.

Anyway, the Vatican denies that the Pope is dead; he is just mostly dead.

It just occured to me, what if this was an elaborate April Fool's joke? It certainly would be the most elaborate one ever.

I hope my comment wasn't shallow, I meant no disrespect to the Pope, just I dont wanna hear the words Feeding Tube anytime soon! lol. Anyways, I keep reading articles about him passing today, saying that all the normal historical "Pope Has Died" signs. Like closing of the bronze door, closed shutters, bells ringing at the Vatican, somber music playing, all of which is happening now.

I think he's one of the greatest persons that has ever lived.
He's trully an example for all of us.

I am sorry Kat, I dont know why you could say such a thing, He is being fed through a tube through his nose. I am so upset about all of us, I am a Catholic and I am proud of what John Paul II has achieved, he is an inspiration.

He has had such bad health over the years and he has carried on, never complaining, doing it for the church and for God. He is truly amazing. Its so upsetting right now.

Another edit: Pope John Paul II has lost consciousness according to reports, God, this is truly awful.
