April 1, 2005

[Dont Mention the War]

Confirmed.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Offering my prayers

[Rutles4Ever]

Not a problem! I kept re-reading my post trying to figure out how I offended you!

We're all a little out-of-sorts...

"What a joyous moment in Heaven!"

Never in my lifetime has there been a week with so many vivid, demonstrative reminders of of our earthly mortality and our inevitable call to account.

No doubt John Paul II has traveled a long and difficult road, and touched the hearts and souls of countless persons. Now he has reached the clearing at the end of his path, and I can not help but believe that many have gathered to receive him. Welcome home Karol. Pray that we who remain behind have the strength and conviction to trudge the path which you so brilliantly illuminated for us.

If FOXNEWS producers are trying to gain a competitive advantage from being first they should be roundly criticized!!!!!

[Arthalion]

God, we thank you for allowing your child Carol Wojtyla to grace us with his poise, faith, and leadership for so many years, and ask you to guide him into your heavenly arms where he may continue his faith among the angels and saints.

[beyond the sea]

Now Shep says he's alive.

[Zivasmate]

As a member of the Jewish faith, I first extend my sympathy to all Catholic Freepers on the loss of your great leader.

The recent Pope achieved great things around the world in promoting peace and good will, and was heroic during the fall of Communism. May you be comforted during your time of grief.

Fox news just reported he is not dead..his brain & heart are still working

[Talking_Mouse]

Eternal rest grant unto Karol Woytila
Let perpetual light shine upon him
May he rest in peace

[brickdds]

Brain and heart still functioning...

[Recovering_Democrat]

It's too bad that clown Shepard Smith happens to be on the air when something like the Pope's death happens.

I agree. Shep is one of those Fox people who really grates on one's nerves. He and the "judge" Napolitano. aagh...

[rampage8]

I just rewound it on Tivo and watched again to make sure I was accurate, and it really did happen that way. It was obnoxious, but the price we pay for having 24 hour coverage. Shep just said it was a producer for Sky Italia talking. He was not happy that it came out that way.

Now he's saying Vatican says the Pope's heart and brain are still functioning. That Sky Italia chick should be fired.

[rhetorica]

Oops--
Fox now reporting that the Vatican is reporting that the Pope's heart and brain are still functioning.

[Types_with_Fist]

OMG! Fox is blowing this. Shep says now that Vatican officials say the Pope's brain and heart are "still functioning."

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

There are questions about this!!!!!!!!!!

[Mercat]

Playing Mozart's requiem. Seems appropriate.

[cookcounty]

I'm not Catholic, but I've been very impressed with JP. I'm worried about how the Catholic Church will fill those big shoes.

[donbosco74]

I've been watching Foxnews.com and there is no such article yet. Is there another Foxnews?

[Halls]

Foxnews just now saying the have jumped to far ahead in the announcement that the Pooe has died. The vatican is reporting that the Pope is still alive, not dead yet.
