Topic awaiting preservation: Good bye John Paul

He's gone at 9:37 pm. ( GMT+1 )

So long and thanks for all the fishes.

Next, I'd like to see a black pope.

Rohlihlala I for pope!

R.I.P. Pope John Paul II

Vale to a courageous and compassionate human

mahj:

Could be wrong (likely) but if memory serves there was a 'black' pope waaaay back when
and also a 'woman'... which, as you might suspect wasn't 'discovered' until she was dead.

and if anyone wants to learn more about the man himself -

some good articles there

I hope no one takes offence - but it's about damn time. That man had been visibly suffering for many years prior to his death.

Offence, at your crude insensitivity synax? No, but only because I imagine you mean no offence.

Good bye. A human being has passed away.

I hope the next pope will be less conservative regarding contraception and homosexuality.
