I can't see the media caring that much that they die on the same day.

I kind of hope it happens, then the media attention will be taken away from Florida.

The guy should have been allowed to retire years ago, a weak Pope is no good to anyone, noone believes all that 'Gods spirit on Earth' stuff anyway.

I don't know all the details here, but if all this stuff is true, why is the pope not returning to the hospital? I think you know where I'm going here. Of course moving him may be too dangerous in his condition. But it looks to me they are just allowing him to die.

Except the devoted Catholics... who are the only ones who care about the Pope in the first place.

Even those who aren't devoted catholics can appreciate him. He was instrumental in the downfall of communism, for one.

I appreciate him for lots of other reasons too.

Both were. The church and the US had an arrangement. US funding and church organization.

6 minutes ago, Danish news agency Ritzau quotes Italian media for reports that the Pope is dying.

No further information from Ritzau than this at the moment, and no naming of the media.

Both my grandparents died at home in bed as well. Each was competent and had expressed that they no longer wished to go to the hospital

Dieing at home and with loved ones

Maybe if we're really lucky, Pat Robertson will die today too. That'll balance things out: A good person dying, a bad person dying, and a vegetable finally finding the peace we've sanctimoniously denied it.

I blame Ben Kenobi. He becomes a Catholic and the Pope immediately snuffs it.

Kick him out of the church before he does more damage!!!

If the pope dies, Schiavo will be forgotten about by the media. I mean, he's the pope.
