One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
no matter what your views on his opinions are, today is gonna be a sad day for the world. looks like the pope is losing the battle to his illness. terrible news. the man never tried to harm anyone and always tried to do the right for humanity. this puts a damper on the good feelings i had this morning. if his time ends today, i can only hope its peaceful and happy. :(
God bless.
Re: the pope
looks like he's on his way out... RIP
Re: the pope
how does popedom (is that the right word?) work? is there somebody in line to become the next pope? is a pope elected? sorry if thats a dumb question, i am not a religious person, just curious about what happens.
Re: the pope
God tells them who is the next pope.
Re: the pope
that makes sense.... crossing my fingers its me
Re: the pope
its called the papalcy(spelling is probably off)
a new pope will be elected in 14 days, every cardinal in the world will be heading to rome to hold meetings for awhile and they elect a new pope from the existing cardinals.
Re: the pope
Sad News. He has a lot for mankind even if ur not religious. May he rest in peace.
Re: the pope
I wonder if i can get my name in the hat for this pope thing?
If elected, 1st item on the agenda, pope needs a new hat.
Re: the pope
just better not be a cardinals cap. :?
Re: the pope
according to drudge, the pope has passed on.
now they are reporting that that was false info. :oops:
Re: the pope
Jenks 4 Pope 2005
Re: the pope
theman.
what a burden to have the world on your shoulders. and so willing accept so.
God or not. the man was a very good human being. truly will be a sad loss.
Re: the pope
from what i'm reading, he's ready to go. i guess it's his time. funny story though...i went to rome a few years ago with a some friends. one of them works for the NY Yankees. we wanted to get tickets to the easter sunday mass at the vatican, so my buddy contacted the vatican prior to our trip. he told them he was with the yankees and if he can do anything to let him know, etc. long story short, cardinal defrancisco (sp?) contacted him and they agreed to exchange tickets. basically, he left us 4 tix to mass and he left the cardinal some tickets at the yankee stadium press gate for some of his family members. cardinal defransisco could be the next Pope. I think he still gets tickets for his family on occasion.

So God really does like the Yankees???
Anyway, the Pope dying is making my wife very sad, she is devotly(sp?) Catholic. I, on the other hand, am not devotly religious. Still sad, sad news for all of humanity. This Pope ratified the Cathoilc doctorine more than any other and he shall be missed by just more than the Catholics of the world.
Re: the pope
Its very sad day. I am not sure if media is doing right to cover all this terrible fact in such intensive way, but after all I think its time not to make a secret the pope is human as others.
Everybody went to the church today, even now people are still praying.
Hope is what we have left. I think the Pope would be happy to see how the whole world reacted...happy for fulfilling his mission.
Today united we stand.
Read Dan Brown's ' Demons and Angels' if you wanna know what happens after the Pope passes away.
Re: the pope
Why everyone keeps saying "the whole world", "everybody", "all the people"... I respect the feelings of those who have faith, and are praying for him, but come on... not everyone cares about it, I don't... so next time, say "the whole world, except beto"

Re: the pope

Re: the pope

[quote]Yet the percentage of Catholics as a share of world population dropped. In 1978, 17.99% of the world's inhabitants were Catholic; in 1990, the tally was 17.68%; and in 2002, 17.2%.[/quote]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your " whole world " is less than 1/5 of world population. :?
Re: the pope
So now it's the whole world except Beto, MJ, Zen Master and Yao.
To think of the problems my non-religiousness has given me in Africa...it has given me a good laugh too tho.
I respect the pope for the fact that he truly believes in what he thinks, and is always trying to make the world a better place. But I have nothing with his thoughts on a lot of issues, such as the use of preservatives and whatnot. The Vatican and this pope are stuck in some extreme kind of conservatism, which I dislike to the fullest.
May he rest in peace, same as every other individual on this planet that is about to die in anonimity.
Re: the pope
add picklemonkey there. hate to say it, but I don't give a shit about the pope or religion. Religion is a a cult, and the Pope is Jim Jones.
Re: the pope
im not religious...but visited the italy a couple of wks ago and its VERY obvious that his death will touch a lot of people. id be int to see who the nxt pope is. n

I guess you have no clue what popes were like before him and how liberal he is comparing to the others...you just dont know what the extreme conservatism is like...but I respect your opinion. Its a free world....think what you want.
peace :)
Re: the pope
yeah, he would def. be considered liberal by pope standards imo

Try not to say anything next time and skip the topic. He passed away.
:(
Re: the pope
it's sad that he passed away, but my great grandparents have passed away and they were great people too. you should be mourning them also
Re: the pope

wrong argument, check this out....
I wasnt mourning them...BUT I didnt say I dont give a shit about them either...feel the difference.
peace.
Re: the pope
kill the argument fellas... we all know pickle is an :Asshole:
Re: the pope
it's sad that he died, yes. but, I don't give a shit. I didn't know him, and I don't worship him, so his death has no effect on me and my feelings. hence, I don't give a shit. I can say "his death doesn't bother me" or "I don't give a shit" but they both mean exactly the same thing :wink:
Re: the pope
or you could have just not said anything :|
i'm not a religious person at all, but you still have to respect that this man was a figurehead for people that are religious and thats something im not sure people like you and i can really understand. if there had been a thread saying "picklemonkeys grandparents die" i certainly would not have said "doesn't affect me, i don't give a shit..."

funny, Bush didnt say that and I bet there is no effect on his life as well.
If you didnt get the difference last time I will explain it :
The difference is.....he can behave in such a moment...you cant.
thats all for me. period.
Peace

Peace out brother :roll:

I'm ignorant for not having the same beliefs that you guys do :roll:
