on edit: let's discuss this article's implications.

1. It is fucking scary! The pope at least hated Bush

My only comfort in all of this is that the Vatican won't like Bushco stepping on their toes.

I pray for a semi-decent pope.

3. If only the first John Paul had cleaned up corruption as he promised

instead of being Pope for 34 days. I hope a decent Pope is chosen absent the neocon influence. I also love Israel but I renounced Zionism years ago.

4. Was it natural....or (dum, dum, dum!),,,,Muuuuuuurder?????

He had a lot of big ideas, that Smiling Pope. Rumors abounded after his death that he was offed.

5. He wasn't the only Pope to perish under somewhat mysterious

circumstances-John Paul was pronounced in excellent health according to Vatican medical staff at the time.

2. why do I even read this? I think I'm going to be sick.

Above all, I believe in the Holy Spirit, whom I hope is at work in the institutional Church (she's going to be awfully busy, though).

6. Crazy

It's sad that an international church would lower itself to the politics of a meglamaniac and his thugs. Isn't the Pope supposed to represent god or Jesus or the horse he rode in on instead of representing some national power they agree with?

7. I posted this last week, I put it in the PNAC forum too

Just one more piece of the puzzle for the neocons. They need a Pope who will be willing to allow "just wars" or in truth, look the other away when another war is started for oil.

While * was in Rome, he had a private meeting with American cardinals. Wonder what they discussed?

8. RC influence?

Might some look into the background of Opus Dei?
There are so many dots that might connect into a spiderweb
of mythic proportions...As the Shadow said "Who knows what goes on in the hearts of men?" (IIRC)

9. The traitor in the FBI, Robert Hanssen was involved with Opus Dei.

Isn't it very conservative, I'm rather ignorant of its dogma.

10. Hasn't Madsen been discredited enough?

I can't believe anyone would take him seriously. Just because his slant is from the left and he says what people wish to believe doesn't make it real.

11. if this wacko said

the sky was blue, I'd call NOAA to check before believing it.
If he said the Pope was still dead, I'd ask a priest.
