i dont think the pope has any direct family that is still alive.
RIP Pope John Paul.
it has finally happened, the pope john paul has pasted away, i just heard the report on the radio.
chaltab, ill wouldnt put this in the same catagory as the shivo thing, that was stupid. this is the pope, the leader of 1.1 billion christains. his death is something that the world wants to be kept in touch with, because he was such a great man. dont worry they dont have a camera in there taking pictures of the pope, and infact i dont think they will alow anypictures to be taken of him and released to the media. but you think of the amount of good this man has done, the number of lives that he touched. its been said that pope john paul was 50% responsible for the fall of communism. the idealizism would have eventually fallen but if it werent for him, it would have taken alot longer, and would have been alot bloodier. old or not the pope was a world leader, and if any world leader were in teh same shape as him, people would want to know cus it would really effect them, and that is the purpose of the media, to tell ppl whats going on. so i dont hate the media for telling everyone about the popes condition. this is stuff the media should be really talking aobut not things like shivo.
