"not praying for someone's recovery" is hardly "Christian" much less "Catholic"

Oh, kelly, not really. I am Catholic and pray often for God's will to be done rather than for the result that I want.

So you and Buckley are in the same boat...
not praying for the Pope is alright with you...

some "Catholic" you are!

very well put.

God knows far better than we which is best.

And if we believe in the Heavenly Home our Father has prepared for us - then why should we wish that someone who has lived a long and fruitful life - which is now only a shadow of itself - not be released to return Home?

I don't think it's for us to either wish he stay or go - but, as you have said - "God's Will." (I trust in Him)

You have it right, bahbah. So often the result we ask for is NOT what would be best for us.
