Pope John Paul II is *NOT* Dead (FOX Now reporting Heart/Brain still functioning)

April 1, 2005

[Dont Mention the War]

Confirmed.

[Dog Gone]

As is everyone else. Why were the bells ringing at the Vatican?

[Dont Mention the War]

this thread should have been pulled. We should wait until there is official confirmation from the Vatican

I did wait. I got official confirmation via EWTN, the Catholic network.

If the rest of the American media can't figure out how to translate Italian into English, that's not my problem.

[BlessedBeGod]

After I just told the whole office. :-(

[JustPiper]

I heard this exact thing and was appalled, she said I'm screaming, doen't anyone hear me!? The Pope is dead. MSNBC still not reporting, and CNN said Italian news conflicted

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

NOT TRUE just yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AppyPappy]

CNN talking to somebody that says his EEG is flat, not his EKG

Another report said he was still conscious. I don't think that is possible.

[bored at work]

Sincerely hoping this doesn't turn into Arafat redux...

it already has . . .

[Pippin]

Try www.catholic.org

[xsmommy]

i KNOW. but they stopped. this is so bizarre.

[Hand em their arse]

I actually feel dirty right now..... I feel it best to not even watch the T.V. or be on FR, I should just say a prayer.... speak with you all later....

[ken5050]

The Pope is alive, now for an update on the Michael Jackson trial......

[Types_with_Fist]

For a "breaking news" channel, they sure are bad at it.

[PissAndVinegar]

As great of a man he is.....he'd probably chuckle himself :)
God bless his soul.

[ClearCase_guy]

"You're not fooling anyone."

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Sincerely hoping this doesn't turn into Arafat redux...

Which is why they will close the shutter at the Vatican when he passes.

Fox handled this disgracefully.

[Corporate Law]

The great three who brought freedom to Eastern Europe are now down to one. God Speed to the Holy Father, God continue to bless Lady Thatcher.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

After seeing the FOX headline that he had died, which gave me quite a start, now FOX is saying that his brain and heart are still functioning. Stupid stupid stupid.

[reagan_fanatic]

Good grief, what a mess...

[baseballmom]

Goodbye dear man.

A lovely sentiment, annie.

So much emotion here. In October,1979 the Pope came to Philadelphia to say Mass. My husband, baby son, and I went downtown to participate with the other million people. Our family was - literally - blessed by a great man. Our daughter too, as I had just realized I was pregnant again. I've told our youngest son that he too was blessed, as his parents and brother and sister were. He was a part of us then too, we just didn't know it.

Thanks be to God, that He graced our world with at this particular time in our history with this great man.
