Peace

what difference does the pope make any way? good riddance to ya pope john paul II :p

Actually just thinking about it.The majority of people in life that have hurt me are Catholics.All these people that go on about religion or church or whatever are usually the biggest sinners of all its just a cover as they think it will give them a free ticket to heaven.Fucking hipocrites

Catholics don't hold a monopoly on hypocrisy. They do as much harm as any other religious fundamentalist.

As for the Pope, to me it's always sad to see an old man who tries so hard but is so weak... Popes in the past have been liars, adulterers, war-mongers, anti-semites, but I think JPII was going in the right direction (as far as the most conservative institution in the world can go in the right direction :D) and I hope that the next pope will be just as, if not more, open-minded than the last one.
