I need to go to bed.

So I only heard he died. The irony is that he was a better Jew than half of the Jews I know.

Rest in peace, John Paul, if one deserves to be reunited with the spirit of Jesus Christ - it is you.

I recommend to listen to the Three Masses by William Byrd at this time...

All the best, and a good night. May we all live to be good people such as he.

He was the first pope to pray in a synagogue, wasn't he? [Smile]

He was also the first pope to enter a mosque. He was also the first slavic pope. He was also the most-travelled pope. And, IMHO, the best pope in history.

This is a sad day, not only for catholics, but for all christians; not only for all christians, but for the world.

The timing of his death is interesting, and it made me realise something: If the Pope had gone into a "vegitative state", they would not have removed his feeding tube to kill him. Why? Because he's "important", and apperantly they didn't think Terri Schiavo was important enough to keep alive.

No, because he made his wishes clear to everyone.
