The 84 year old man was taken to the hospital late Tuesday for immidiate treatment of an aggressive and violent strain of the flu. He is not expected to live from this, reporters are waiting outside the Vatican for news of his condition. His meetings for the next few days have been no doubt cancelled.

oh well a papal election for the cardinals!

I envision a new gameshow, "Who wants to be the cardinal of Rome?"
20 rounds of biblequiz, with progressively harder questions, narrated by your favorite Christian celebrity.

I hope the Pope either pulls out of it quickly, or goes quickly. He's had a good run, but it seems like it's been a bit of a struggle for him in recent years. It will certainly be a dark day for millions of people when he does finally go, whether that's sooner or later.

If I were the prayin' kind my prayers would be with him.

I thought i was a cold hearted SOB.. but i would never bet on the date of the pope's death.


BTW, my opinion is that this fella is tougher than anyone is giving him credit. I see him hanging around for a good bit...
