As an ex-catholic myself I don't like too much the Catholic church, but this dude wasn't that bad comparing to all other Popes, don't forget that millions of people listen and follows whatever he says. It would not be so funny if we get a nazi apologist Pope now, to be honest I hope he lives a bit more.
- Yeah, but "better than the other popes" was a very low bar. This one had better words, but not so many better actions.
  
  I think the point being made is that if he dies you are very likely to get someone far worst in a time where things are already at the brink.
  
  Not even so, the supposedly progressive opinions he gave out were way overstated by the mainstream media. He was just rewording the "hate the sinner not the sin" BS
Funny how a man who claims to be the representative of God on Earth seems to be totally let down by the supernatural and entirely dependent on secular medicine for survival, like the rest of us. It's almost as if he was nothing special at all...
- Not really. If you believe the teachings of Christianity, we were intentionally created as fallible and imperfect creatures, especially with the whole "leaving the garden of Eden" thing.
  You might also say that God created us with the ability and skills to perform and improve medicine.
- It's not too late. He can still turn from his sin and accept Satan into his heart. Or more importantly, his lungs.
  
  According to one story of French philosopher Voltaire's last words, his response to a priest at his deathbed urging him to renounce Satan was "Now is not the time for making new enemies."
It'll be interesting to see how Prophecy of the Pope people handle it when this pope gets replaced normally like all the others.
This is very bad, lung diseases is just about the ONLY thing the Pope could die of. Because it makes it impossible for him to pray!!!
Yes yes I know atheists say God usually responds with NO! anyway, but this is the Pope goddammit!! God wouldn't say NO to the Pope...
Would he?
- Jessie what the fuck are you talking about?
  
  Buff
  It was an attempt at a joke on the fact that God doesn't exist, which is why he tends to not answer prayers, which is similar to answering no.
  So obviously even the Pope will get a no too.
  But apparently I failed miserably.
may he rot in hell.
