As a Catholic this is not so much sad as it is shocking in the sense that he is the only Pope there has been in my lifetime. Whether you agree with his social stances or not, he was an incredible moral leader that helped millions to obtain freedom with his stands against the Communist eastern European governments and the fascist governments in Latin America and the Phillipines(sp?).

i heard about this only a couple hours ago
its still a pretty important world event really, i wonder how long the cardinals will convene until they choose the next Pope and how he will be
I think Pope John Paul II was a pretty decent Pope

He died because of his many diseases. He was under close watch when he died. He slipped in and out of conciousness and his death was predicted by doctors and stuff.

I was told by a drunk persian guy on the bus at James Madison University in Harrisburg, VA (they won the division II football nationals) that Terri Salvano was going to be resurrected into Pope John Paul III.

Frankly, being Protestant has kind of distanced me from this event. I must admit, it is saddening that such a great leader has passed on.
However, I do have mixed feelings. Presonally, I consider it selfish of him to not abdicate his position when he cannot even preform Mass. I feel that it isn't right to deny the Catholics that come to the Vatican their mass and other religious events.
