Let us just pray for him. We cannot be sure until the Vatican releases the announcement. Be patient and pray. Disregard the weather...his death will be a glorious celebration in heaven...and we need not worry about rain or clouds.

Pope John Paul II, we love you and pray for you.

Wujek intercede for us! [/quote]
EWTN also sent out an e-mail. This is a rollercoaster of events.

CNN is saying that the Vatican is denying that he has died.

[Dudette]

really confusing....

[IesusDeus]

"AP: The vatican has denied that the pope has died."

I just saw it on CNN live.

Unless there is a miracle the Holy Father is going to the Father soon.
Pray for his soul either way.


Have a good trip Papa.

[voiciblanche]

All the news channels are saying the Vatican has denied reports of his death.

[quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='Apr 1 2005, 01:54 PM'] What amazes me is the level of sadness and interest, even among non-Catholics. [/quote]
Soo very true... I know exactly what you mean. All of this is also showing me what a change has been made in my life this past year. If this would've happened a year ago, I probably would've been kinda interested in it, but not really cared too much about it. But now, I cried when I heard the news and am praying for him with all of my heart. God works wonders...

*prayers for the pope*

I would not be surprised if a miracle happened. Maybey he passed briefly??? I don't want to start a rumor but that is something I thought would be cool...like he met The Lord face to face...and then came bake even if it was just brief. I got a creative mind....Im not trying to start a rumor.

[the_rev]

Long live the Pope!

[Dj 86]

It's in GOD's hands.

I have to try to take comfort knowing that he is perfect, and he is in control.

[ironmonk]

I understand that some say the 'rumor' thing.... but, this is second hand info... not fifth or sixth. I don't think Jeff would misunderstand that the Pope passed coming from the person who was in the office when the Bishop got the call.


God Bless,

he will be the third pope with the title, the Great!
His brain and heart is still active, we still must learn from his teachings even at his last breath.

Confirmed:

Vatican: Pope Not Dead.

I hate when people jump the gun. When the Vatican confirms he has died, then let's announce it.

When SkyItalian said he had died the entire campus cried out in weeping and mourning. All of our evening classes have been cancelled thankfully.

[megrc]

I have to go to work now, and unfortunatley I can't have the radio on, but I will continue to pray for our Holy Father.

Locally, they asked a priest at a Cathedral and he said that the bishop's office received word from the Vatican that the Pope, is dead. Though that is what the reporter said and there was no audio from a priest saying that, so who knows?

[Theoketos]

From what I understand, the Vatican is not denying that he is dead, but that no brain machine failed.

[quote name='Raphael' date='Apr 1 2005, 01:01 PM'] I am not calling him a liar, I am being cautious. Rumors DO have a way of getting around. I'm sure Jeff understands my caution. [/quote]
I've heard that Fox news has said that he had passed away, and then a little while later, they changed their minds. I think it's best to wait until we hear from the Vatican.
