Pope John Paul II's Last Words

[Garry Denke]

Huh??

Whatever, best wishes orbsycli.

...The media is simply reporting his last words as "amen". That poem looks like quite a bit for someone on death's door to recite from memory. Maybe it's just a poem he recited at some other time.

Actually, his last words were, "Oh, crap, I forgot the poem!"

Jeez, Pyro - but you do have quite the talent for resuscitating ancient fossilized threads!

 

I thought his last words were "Won't you chance the channel, dear nurse, this CNN-crap is boring me to d...urrrrggghhh"

Yes, funny; all part of the Hypography experience. I did a double-take at the dates:confused:

A few years ago, it seemed quite probable that Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston would have to face trial for his appalling collusion in the child-rape racket that his diocese had been running.

The man had knowingly reassigned dangerous and sadistic criminals to positions where they would be able to exploit the defenseless. He had withheld evidence and made himself an accomplice, before and after the fact, in the one offense that people of all faiths and of none have most united in condemning.

 

(Since I have more than once criticized Maureen Dowd in this space, I should say now that I think she put it best of all.

A church that has allowed no latitude in its teachings on masturbation, premarital sex, birth control, and divorce suddenly asks for understanding and "wiggle room" for the most revolting crime on the books.)

 

Anyway, Cardinal Law isn't going to face a court, now. He has fled the jurisdiction and lives in Rome, where a sinecure at the Vatican has been found for him.

Jeez, Pyro - but you do have quite the talent for resuscitating ancient fossilized threads!...

Jeez, Boers - but you do have quite the talent for catching me resuscitating ancient fossilized threads. I just assume every thread is currently ongoing (until you tell me otherwise!) :surprise:

And, from Mike's link,

Struggling to swallow and breathe, Pope John Paul II mumbled his final words weakly in Polish: “Let me go to the house of the Father.”

Indeed, I had a mild doubt that his last words would have been in English while that poem isn't likely to be a translation from a completely different language. :surprise:

[Pyrotex]

Okay. I went back in my Tardis (you didn't know I had one, didja?!), dressed up as a nun on wheels and slipped into Pope John Paul II's sickroom. His last words were:

"Gotcha last!"
