Personally I don't see what all the fuss is about. He is just another old man, appointed to be a pope. There is nothing holy about him. [color:"orange"] I mean no offence here [/color] , but let's face it, he is old and worn out. I just hope he don't have to suffer to much before he goes. After all, he was a good man.
My great-auntie (sister of my grandfather) was a very devoted nun. When she died two years ago, she was happy to see her brothers again in Hungary. (Her two brothers died a few months before her, all 3 of them were born in Boudapest)
People like her and the pope are from the same kind, they give their life for their believes, and when they die they are just closer to God.
But what bothers me, are the media and all the news around it. It's kind a like Seth already said before.
[color:"orange"] I don't want to hurt anyone [/color] , everyone has his own believes and thinks otherwise about stuff. But I hope I can have a oppinion of my own without getting into trouble. I put the most important lines in color so anyone who reads this, would see that I really mean no offence.
It's just my humble opinion.
