Pope on last legs.

[Del]

The man has led a heck of a life.

He fought communism, tried to deal with evil people within the church on his watch, traveled to nearly every country on the planet, survived an assassination attempt, and basically tried to do good in his days. Heck, he's even been the subject of a Tom Clancy novel.

I'm protestant, but I don't feel partisan. I wish him well, especially in the next few days which may be his last. God be with Wojtyla, also known as Pope John Paul the 2nd.

He supposedly suffered from cardiovascular collapse and septic shock, but is still alive. Likely for not much longer, but everyone has their time.

It's not like the world can ask for more from him.

Sad day. Sad day, indeed. Being a fellow Pole, it's terrible.

I'm a mormon, but I can say that the world is a lesser place with Pope John Paul II gone. He had an amazing life, and did a lot of good in his time on Earth.

Nope, I believe they're +2 GMT or so...
