"The Holy Father died this evening at 9:37 p.m. (2:37 p.m. EST) in his private apartment. All the procedures outlined in the apostolic Constitution `Universi Dominici Gregis' that was written by John Paul II on Feb. 22, 1996, have been put in motion."

He was a good man and a courageous pope. He took a stand against abortion, gay marriage when it was not popular to do so. I am not catholic, but I just feel that he has been holding back a darkness that seems to be spreading and getting darker over the entire world. I know he loved the Lord and will be resurrected when Christ returns. I will be praying for our catholic brothers and sisters.

He loaded the College of Cardinals with men like himself. We are quite likely to have a very good Pope as his successor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Catholic but I mourn along with the Catholic church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, God is no respecter of men. Pope, or just average Joe, we are all the same in the eyes of the Lord. warm regards -bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been hoping for him to recover from his problems. The new Pope will have a lot to deal with I am sure. I hope whoever that will be will be as strong as this one.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with his doctrinal beliefs, you must admit he was a world leader in promoting the dignity of all human life.

He said no to much of what a lost world said yes to. A major blow to Christian standards if the Catholic Church can't find a man who was like minded. I pray that they do. This Pope was a very fine man. God Bless John Paul Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
