The Pope is gone

[rg_girlca]

He will be truly a hard act to follow as he was so well loved.

May he Rest in Peace.

I really regret not going to World Youth Day, when he came to visit Toronto. I would've loved the chance to get to meet him.

RIP Pope John Paul II..

Our Pope will be missed all over the world!! I still remember his election ; it was a surprise he was a non-Italian!! He was very important for the world, also because he travelled a lot and visited lots of countries. He also visited my country Belgium, and spoke some Dutch (he studied here for a while when he was still a bisshop).
RIP Pope John Paul II !!

I too regret not going! This is such sad news...but at least he is out of pain in his true home with his Maker! Imagine the joy in Heaven as one of the greatest men of his time enters Heaven! I can't imagine really! I know I'm so sad about all this, but I have to know that it's all in God's plan...there will never be another man like Pope John Paul II!

Sometimes religion can be a controversial subject!

It doesn't matter if you are religious or not, this man was wonderful, and should be admired by all! Hopefully, they will come up with somebody almost as good as him, because Pope John Paul II can NEVER be replaced!

I plan to watch the funeral on Friday, and I heard it is going to be a holiday? But until then, his body is layed in the 16th Chapel(I think) for all the public to see.

Exactly.

Very sad.

I just hope the next Pope will do more for those who have been sexually abused by men of the cloth, and not just apologize and hide the molesters...

other than that (I think) he was a good man.

What amazes me is the belief that JPII hid all the molesters...

Why should the next Pope do more for the people who were molested when the lawyers are doing plenty by getting million dollar awards from individual parishes for their clients??

Those parishes then close down, preventing the REAL catholics form having a place to worship, send their kids to school and ????

The Catholic Church was wrong by hiding and reassiging the bad priests, but what about the forgiveness that the molested men and women are supposed to have taken from the religion??

I have a real problem with the people who waited 20-30 years to figure out that they were molested.

I like pictures of dead presidents, but I don't worship them.

what a wonderful sight.

words cannot explain the sight if all those people, in one place to honor one man.


I saw a cartoon in a spanish language newspaper that showed the papal "suit" in an exaggerated size-the small priests that stood to the side commented....

"I do no think we will find a man to fit these clothes"

Truer words were never said.
