any1 really think he's gona make it??

Pope John Paul II looks like he's going to meet the Maker pretty soon...he will definately be missed. he has pleaded for peace and humanity time and time again when the rest of the human race opted for blood, and has strived in his own way to make the world a better place. may God rest his soul in peace...amen

Is there any major decisions that he was related too? I don't know a thing about him.

The BBC news team are wearing black, just in case...

Just the aids epidemic in Africa and a couple of other issues.

He's already been given his final rights. The Pope was a great man and it's sad to see him in such bad shape.

[Coventrysucks]

I wouldn't say he was a great man.

Didn't he say that no one in Africa should use condoms so that when they die of AIDs they won't be going to hell?

Or they could use them and not die as much...

i dont understand you guys. john paul ii was a great man, in fact he still is, because he is still living, probably the best pope in the history, he was the first that really understood problems of people and gave them a hand, nobody before him travelled so much just to make happy so many catholics. even if he's not important for you, you should respect him because of all the great things he made for us.

@coventrysucks: even if he said that nobody should use condoms, the reason was that its not right in catholitism. dont tell me youre so stupid to understand it in that way. the most important thing for him was always peoples life

and one more thing: its sad for me to see that you know so little about that great man and all the things he had made

The catholic church is anti, contraxptional mesures, them beiing condoms, against abortions or other things, IMO it's a complety hipocrital decision, aids is out there, and the only way to stop it is using condoms, noone is going to stop F... around becouse of religion!

Which is why I think religion is stupid.

Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer greatly because that is somebody's interpretation of the Bible, the single and only source of information for our religion...

Somehow, I don't think that is what God and Jesus had in mind, but since I don't wear a pointy hat no-one seems to listen.

ok, i have to agree that some of the rules in catholitism are irrational, but the Pope wasnt one of the people who made it stupid. you can't blame him for hundrets of years of deforming. in fact, he was the one that tried to have friendly relations with other religions, any pope hasn't been so popular before, its not only because of tv, but he really loved people and wanted to help them as much as he could - and now you can see thousands of people (not only catholitics) in vatican, praying for Karol Wojtyla
