No matter what your religion, you must repect the man for all he has done. I am a catholic and was lucky enough to see the Pope when he visited Vancouver. I am sorry to see him suffering the way he has, but perhaps it is fitting for the leader of a church to go through this. It seems to have brought many people together and that is a good thing.

I was just about to post a topic. There saying his heart is still pumping but his brain has gone down hill for the worst. Its sad, just dont make him suffer

When I was in Rome, I had a chance to visit the Vatican. The feeling was surreal, not only were you stepping back in time, but just the overall rora (sp?) of the place made you tingle. A experience that I would never forget

It so sad. He seems to be going down hill fast.

It has been a sad day for me and my family. I saw the Holy Father in Chicago in 1979

i hope his final days are painless and peaceful

Indeed. He'* a good man.

hope he doesnt go through similar things as TERRI SCHIAVO did... i cant believe what her parents put her through... who would want their daugther to suffer like that?? IMO she should have passed away way before now... its a shame....her parents were selfish.....like i said...IMO...sorry if you dont feel the same...
