He's somewhere safe :cry:

84! DING sorry

 

84..hmm..yeah, that sounds about correct.

 

Here's a cookie and a lollipop for your vast knowledge. Purple ok?

PURZURPLE COOKIES :o

 

maaad

Yeah, they're crazy. :)

 

If you play some really upbeat music, they stand up and do a weird dance. Crazy!

He was 84. He's been sick for months. He was dying the last few days. This is a shock?

 

*is not catholic*

 

I´m a catholic, it was a shock to me also... Although I expected it... And I always thought of him as an immortal Pope.

We will never have a Pope like him again :( And now he is in the house of the Father !

 

Dunno if people knew this, but Brazil is the biggest catholic Country in the world :)

He would have lived longer if it wern't for the assasination attempt

Ddi you know to make sure he was dead they hit him in his head with a hammer?!?!?!

Where did you hear that?

read it in the paper... its true... lol

thats true....a silver hammer...to make sure he's not asleep...its papal tradition...since before they had "medical teams"...the head cardinal would call his baptismal name 3 times....then tap his head with a hammer :scholar:

I think thats really odd

indeed....a strange tradition.

OOOOHHH!! i thought she meant like hit him hard!! If it's just a tap, that makes sense!

:lol: yes madam.

it would of been funny if he said.. Ouch! when they hit him.

Ok, i'm sorry, but joking at a time like this is inappropriate, but that was just damn funny! hahahahaha..good one! hahaha

:inquisitive:

I know i know..totally inappropriate, but i giggled when I read that? Does that make me the devil?

They used to tie a bell onto a dead person's finger, in case they were stlll alive.

 

 

true story.

I knew that. :smug:

I just heard the sad news.

im glad he died in the vatican and not in a hospital. he died where he was meant to. R.i.p :)

i think that people want to die where they were born or where they grew up. :/

sad he could not die where he was born and where he grew up.

 

i`ll never forget the day when he came to visit my hometown in 1999. 500 000 people gathered at the small airport just to find out he wouldn`t come cuz he was sick. 2 days later, early morning they say on tha radio he`s coming, again 500 000 people gathered. it was crazy. masses of people walkin on tha streets, goin in the same direction just to hear him say a few words and see his white helicopter.

 

he was the 1st pope who said there was no barrier between christianity and other religions.

 

i`ll miss him dearly but at the same time i`m happy he`s in a better place and free from suffering.

 

RIP my hommie

I heard the news yesterday..very sad :( R.I.P

The news is sad, I'm not religious but my thoughts for everyone else that shared feelings for the pope. I'm trying not to wreck the thread for everyone that is religious :)
