I heard he had like Parkinson's but I doubt that because he kept travelling until he died, yes very, very sad.

He did have Parkinsons... He was ill for ages.

yes, and he STILL gave the easter address to his adoring recipients. THAT, ledzep the second, is why we are "having a fit" over it. he was truely a strong person who didn't ever give up. What are you? **** on his shoe? not even close.

Well Im not making such a huge fuss over it as everyone else, but you gotta admire him for that. I still think its amazing he got to his age with Parkinsons, let alone to manage to give a last message to everyone...

Yes, I'm also Orthodox BlackTShirtGirl? and my Kum had Parkinsons for over 30 years and I don't believe he could have EVER travelled anywhere or even spoken for that matter..Yeah, he died on my birthday as a matter of fact, one of the things in my life that I find truly freaky.
BUT, the Pope truly was a great man, he'll be missed..the next pope will be evil, I can feel it in my blood.

The newspapers over here had a front page that said the Pope was dead before he even passed away, which is quite sickening really. RIP John Paul.

i guess the world will now be awaiting a puff of smoke in the vatican.
he wasnt the biggest fan of women, and the whole "year of the three popes" things are a bit shady, but i still have a tremendous amount of respect for him. he was a good man. anybody think he will be remembered as john paul the great? as many people are calling for over the world

well may he rest in peace that's all i got to say

how'd save lives in ww2? im not dissagreeing with u btw, just wanna no, and how'd he bring religions together?, he didnt do a very good job, iraqis are apparently fighting a holy war. :soccer:

He helped out at the Gas chambers saving lives, this was close to his heart, he was from poland ya know. Also, Iraqi people are more rebels than anything else. He has done the most for religion since ooh i dunno.. a carpenters son got put up on a cross to save humanity.
