Wow! I went off to the bank for five minutes and I find out on Yahoo he's gone.

*Voltron* · 04-02-2005, 02:25 PM

This is a sad day. He was a great man, to say the very least.

He was the greatest. Nothing will be the same again.

His pontificate lasted for 26,5 years. I'm almost 22. For me, he has always been in this world. Now he's gone.

Thank you, Matt, for that touching video. We'll always remember Pope John Paul II as the pontiff who kept it real.

Oddly enough, he also had an Italian disco song dedicated to him, as well. He was truly a remarkable man.

*Anarky* · 04-02-2005, 05:56 PM

I could not agree with his religion, I could not agree with what he said, but that man has done a lot of things for the christian community. Therefore I respect him.

Rest in Peace Karol J. Wojtila.

This is a really sad day , I really wasnt expecting this to happen

*Anarky* · 04-02-2005, 06:29 PM

You weren't expecting it? I mean, German media was full of "Pope's condition gets worse"-reports for teh last few days.

So, I guess you just heard "Pope dead since 9.27 pm"?

Ra · 04-02-2005, 06:50 PM

this is sad. real horrible even though i'm not a big Christan follower

it's sad to see him go. he's been very dedicated to his job and cerimonies, but now he's just.........gone.......

04-02-2005, 08:21 PM

This is indeed a sad day...

I used to be Catholic, and though I'm not really one anymore (haven't considered myself Catholic for years) I still have great respect for him and what he has done with his time.

Does this topic really need an exclamation point?

I think this thread can respectibly be considered important news.

EDIT: Wait... what do you mean by exclamation? The title of this thread?

I haven't noticed yet if this thread has the exclamation point icon...

EDIT: Nevermind...

*damnhooligan* · 04-03-2005, 03:55 AM

I'll always remember him like this:

And however I may disagree with certain aspects of the Catholic dogma, I can only hope the next man they chose to lead a faith of one billion strong will be as steadfast and dedicated as he.

I mean it just seems like its making light of the situation "Hey the pope died!"

**Barkworm** · 04-03-2005, 11:39 AM

He was a horribly conservative pope but a good person in general. Rest in Peace Karol.

I didn't mean it to seem that way...it's supposed to be like.. "OMG! The Pope died!"

But then again I WAS waiting for the announcement....I kept on the same channel (MSNBC had a Pope Watch... which is how I found out about his death as soon as it occured

) for nearly 2 days....Only to change it to watch TMNT

But that's the reporter in me....*shrugs*....Im not Catholic but I have Catholic ancestry....shell Im related to a couple Popes of the past....I admit the man never affected me in any way...But I can see how he effected people...and that's what fascinates me the most about him

It's gonna be rather interesting to see who they choose to be the next pope... we won't find out for like 2 or 3 weeks (There's a couple weeks of mourning then the Cardinals all gather in the Sistine Chapel and vote on 3 men)...To know how the process is done I HIGHLY recomend Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons"...

From what I've heard it's between an American, African, and Italian.

Wow. You are related to Borgias or other powerful Italian family of the past?

**GK Punk** · 04-03-2005, 12:40 PM

I hope we have an America Pope next. Can you imagine if we had an American pope? He'd probably be Pope Elvis.

(Someone had to say it)

**Barkworm** · 04-03-2005, 12:48 PM

Has anyone seen the list with the most likely candidates? Most of them are almost dead.
