PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Shirts, banners, pins, they all have this saying on it. John Paul two, maybe the most popular pope to date. From dealing with youth, to dealing with people in worse condition than him. He has stayed faithful through all of his illnesses. He now has a Feeding Tube. I can guarantee that they wont take it out of him. Just like they shouldnt have taken it out of Terry. Pray, Hope, and have Faith. I know most of you arent christian, and so far as i can tell, im the only practicing Catholic. What do you guys think of my faithful leader?
Kevin Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 VERY decent man, and I hope he can recover. He alone, would be an inspiration to convert to Catholicism.
Jenny Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 I don't practice it, but I am catholic. I don't agree with all the Pope's views, but I admire the way he reaches out and tries to help people and give them hope. Whatever happens, I hope that he doesn't suffer.
Foxy Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 I hope he recovers, but it's not going to happen. This man is dying, and as he is pretty much the highest authority on this Earth for the Catholic faith (and many others), he shouldn't have any fear of death and hopefully will go peacefully when his time is here. I don't agree with alot of the things he says...contraception, abortion, etc. At the end of the day he's just a human being like everyone else...
CanAm Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 While I am not a Catholic nor particularly religious (I believe in God I just don't have much time for organized religion), I admire the Pope. Although I don't agree with his position on some issues, he is a kind, decent man and I hope he recovers from this latest illness . If he doesn't, I hope he goes peacefully.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Posted April 1, 2005 Yes, he is stubborn though, ill tell you that. He can look death in the face. He probably looks forward to going to heaven. You know hes goin lol. But, as i watch the TV in these last hours of his life. I wonder whats goin through his head. He refused to go to the hospital. Everything is getting worse. I feel bad, and yes, ill cry if he passes.
MementoxMori Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 Ah, i know, my poor Pope. I love him to death, and i hope he recovers. As far as you can tell you're the only practicing Catholic? and what kind of an assumption is that? all in jest, all in jest. but i am a practicing Catholic, so watch out before you jump to conclusions.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 Ive never met you before. I apologize. Its good to have a little familiar blood around here though. For when we get into religous arguments. I need somebody on my side! lol. My name is Paul. Good havin ya here!
Batman Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 You know, I am also a practicing catholic. I don't really advertise it on songfacts though, but I don't hide it either. I just don't bring it up much. This seems like a good thread to though.
MementoxMori Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 no need for apologies! pleased to meet ya, Paul. i'm Maria.
edna Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 The Pope has just died. I saw it on TV. My deepest regrets for all of you, songfactors friends.
Mairi Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Im not religious in the slightest but i feel very sorry for him and hope he's at peace now.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 Full size picture We Shall Remember You forever! You were one of the greatest Popes of our time! The Bell Now Tolls! Millions are gathered at the time for you! In Nomine Patris et Fili et Spiritus Sancti. AMEN! Lets Remember him as he was...never as he should have been! God Bless You All!
Foxy Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 JP II, shaking hands with many great friends by now I should imagine. Rest in peace.
swlabr Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I, too am a Catholic and Pope John Paul II will be sorely missed. Who will be able to fill his shoes?
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Posted April 3, 2005 22 days! Thats how long its gonna take them. Your choices: A Black Guy A Former Jew A Latin American A Italian Thats what the linguists at MSNBC describe it as. Nice huh?
Aunt_Acid Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Can a woman be pope? A black pope would be funny.
Batman Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Is it true about the hammer? Do they really hit him on the head with a hammer and ask him if he's dead?
RonJonSurfer Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 They stopped that only about 40 years ago...the new tradition is to call him by his given name three times.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Posted April 3, 2005 Do you guys realize that they leave him in his room? They arent having hes funeral for a few days! EWW. its like.... "Guys! we are just gonna leave him in there!" "Ozzy...you can be the Pope...Your Catholic!' Ozzy-...ALLL ABOARD!
Foxy Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Hmm...that may be tradition, but that is just awful. I don't mean to sound vulgar, but do they chill the room? Bodies don't take long to start the decomposing process... Sorry if that offended anyone Just very curious...
MarcM Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Is it true about the hammer? Do they really hit him on the head with a hammer and ask him if he's dead? WTF!!! Are you serious? If he was not dead, he would be after that....
PSYCHOcatholic Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Posted April 4, 2005 Lol, they dont hit him with a hammer. Today they had the procession to St. Peters Basilica for his Body to be put on display there. I think they embalmed him a little bit. I know he is left out for 9 days though. Now, what they wont release, is where he is gonna be buried. Krakow or The Vatican. God Bless.
Foxy Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 Ah sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. He's lying in State at St. Peter's Basilica until Friday morning, where he will then be buried in the Crypt at the Basilica with the prevoius Popes. He didn't leave a will, or any wishes for how/where he wanted to be buried.
