How sad this is....

[Fierce Critter]

I got a little sad over this. Shed a tear.

As popes go, he was pretty traditionalist in holding up outdated policies that I don't agree with. Yet, he was quite a good church leader otherwise.

[Rivet_HeadINC]

He was a very good Religious Leader, and Political Figure. He rejuvinated the Catholic Faith and that took a lot especially in the 70's, 80's and now.

[JaneDead]

he also travelled to other countries and visited other religious locations (such as synagogues and mousks -spelling?- first pope to do so from what i understand)

and even though he was tradionalistic in his views (which i don't agree with) he also did seem to be more open to *some* modern ways of belief.

he is a person who affected the world and now the world will be changed since he is gone. maybe not for everyone or for each of us individually- but there will be change whether you acknowledge it or not.

The Incredible Popeman. (I'm not kidding nor am I posting this to anger or upset anyone. Just found it . . . . odd.)

[Nerdcore]

last night in Pope Park ( in hamtramck ) some people in full scotish uniform played the funeral bagpipes. I though that was beautiful.

[Fierce Critter]

I bet it was, NC. I would have liked to have seen that.

They used to tap the pope with a hammer

No lie. I had no idea that they actually did this. I'm not trying to anger anyone or be a smarty about it. Wayne found this yeterday, and I didn't know about it. I mean, who sat back and said "It's okay to hit him in the head with a hammer, because he might not be dead"?
