# What's all this about the Pope?
Is he expected to die, or is that just a joke?

# ...
No, he's in the hospital in the vatican for shits and giggles...

# Let me guess....
have you been telling everyone that just to make them go running to news websites?

What an excellent jape. If he makes it through the weekend, I'll do that to people at work on Monday.

# Exactly
how much time are we thinking? A week? A year?

# Well
he's a very old person going into hospital, it's enough of a suggestion that people are thinking he might pop off soon, otherwise the Vatican wouldn't be spending so much time assuring people he is okay.

# That is
a very true statement. :[

Hopefully he will be okay, though I have my fears.

# Well this is what I'm curious to know.
Is the reason all these people are praying for him because he is a particularly outstanding pope? If he wasn't such a great pope, would they just shug their shoulders and pray for whoever? Or are popes in fact fungible? In which case being concerned about his impending death is foolish.

Not heard that word before. I might find out if it actually exists then start using it.

# he`s a fuckwit, by virtue of being head of the catholic church
he goes on about poverty, AIDS, and children dying in 3rd world countries, and yet won`t advocate contraception because it`s against the teachings of the church - which bases its religion on the bible, which also states that only Jesus can forgive sins; interesting that priests can do that

fucking load of wankers
