BREAKING NEWS

[b][color=black]The Vatican, in the last few moments, have announced plainly for the first time that the Pope is dying. His breathing has become 'shallow', his heart and kidneys are failing and his health is 'worsening' by the moment, BBC News reported on the six news just minutes ago. Already, news channels are sending special correspondents and perhaps senior newsreaders out to the Vatican, in preparation for the Pope's death. I find this extremely sad. The Pope has suffered terribly for several years through bad health. He was a good religious leader and will throw the Catholic world into grievance and mourning when he passes away.
So, please post all your memories and tributes to this special thread I have set up, regarding the Pope's Health as the world pray and watch as his last few hours dawn.

UPDATE: Sky News, BBC News 24 and Fox News reporting that the Pope has lost conciousness, nothing yet confirmed on that. Lights are going out also on the Pope's flat, indicating that the Pope's death is extremely imminent. More soon. Please keep posting your respects.

can i ask why I was just referred to as a "fool"? OK, there is already a thread about the Pope's bad health but I set up a seperate one to pay my respects, as I am a Catholic. And just wanted to give members the opportunity to state their thoughts. I am quite insulted by your branding of me. Why am I a 'troll'?

Simple.

you open about 5 threads a day on topics which have been well covered on here. It really isn't that hard to look for an existing thread is it?

Can't you just put your comments in the thread where everyone else's are. And can someone please rename the main Pope thread.

I am disgusted that you are being so insensitive. Well done, couch_potato, I think that it is important that there is a place to post condolences, on a very sad issue (and one that is related to the news, and is being posted about in another topic). I'm sorry, but this is important and I find the way that you are treating this person who is trying to respect the Pope awful.

The coming hour, I fear, will bring bad news, and I just hope the Pope can pass peacefully. After all, his death will be an end to his suffering.

But what is wrong with posting in the normal thread. I'm a Catholic aswell, but it doesn't mean I have to start an unnecessary thread!

post it on metropol, although, you have to remember there are many differing views of what exactly john paul's legacy is, either way, this forum isn't the place for it.

TVM, why are you foisting him on us?

I'm disappointed in you. Wink
