The Pope is in the hospital with lung infection

I think he's number one in my ghoul pool. I'd wish him well if not for that.

 

Bird flu?

 

I got him, too. Does the order count? Liz Taylor is my #1.

 

You get a multipiler the higher up in the list.

I don't have Liz, but I have her buddy Michael Jackson somewhere around number 7 or 8. I'm thinking he'll kill himself after he's convicted.

 

I pray for Pope John Paul; he is the voice of tradition in the Catholic Church; keeping the sinners and perverts in Hell and the faithful and moral with the angels in Heaven!

Bless him God!

Would those perverts include the ones who led his 'flocks' while molesting altar boys all over the country, the same ones the Pope's church tried to protect for so very long?

 

Now isn't the time, little guy.

 

Little guy? You never met Nate, I guess.

 

Actually I have. I was being snide.

 

Maybe RSL should have done a physical first.

 

Real Salt Lake????

 

He's talking about the other Pope.

Not THAT Pope.

The white guy who wears the funny hats.

Best wishes to JP II.

 

Am I the only one who's surprised he's held on this long? Actually, looking at the ghoul pool, no, no I'm not.

 

"Will you burn in hell?"

Too bad that thread went bye-bye.
This one took an expected turn.

 

Umm... well, yeah, I actually think it is. If ItN can blather this...

"keeping the sinners and perverts in Hell and the faithful and moral with the angels in Heaven!"

... then Natty can point out that Popalupagus and his "faithful and moral" are not beyond reproach.

I do not wish illness or death on anyone. I hope he recovers and goes on to change some things, but things are not all right with his church.

I'm not prepared to have him canonized.

 

I thought Eddie should've gone to Europe back in about '98 or '99. I can't believe he's held onto MLS this long either, but I think it's too late to try to make the move now.

 

Since I'm an athiest, I don't believe in heaven or hell, so I'm not sure where I'll go. Probably into the ground somewhere, unless the cremate me or something.

 

Well, just like our military and intelligence officers should be aspire to be better than the terrorists who blow us up and behead us, I think we should also aspire to be better than InTheAss. And, because NattyBo is on the side of all that's right and good, I think he needs to be shown the higher road.



And don't get me wrong - I'm no fan of the Pope or the Catholic Church. Not even close. I just don't think dancing on a person's almost-grave is a good thing to do.

 

Neither do I, unless, of course, his death gives me points in the ghoul pool.

 

May God look out for John Paul.

As for you Lastort, I'm gonna have to win you over to the way of the Lord.

 

Not dance, but recognize someone for who they are and what they've done.

Or did you enjoy the rose-tinted glasses everyone seemed to use when looking back at the late Ronald Reagan's life? I'm not saying it's good to mock the dead, but don't you think it may also be disrespectful to remember someone falsely? We can learn from someone's bad as much as we can learn from their good.

 

I'm not saying that we have to put on rose-colored glasses. I just think it's not necessary to start in with a bunch of ridiculous smack. I didn't do it with Reagan and I won't do it with JPII, though the latter has made me far angrier in the past then the former. Things he said drove me away from the Church, probably permanently.

Right now, though, he's just a sick old man and it's sort of pathetic to mindlessly insult a sick old man.

 

Point. But how do you handle the reality of a dead person's past?
