You have to admit, the resemblance is striking. And exactly how I pictured JP2 in the afterlife, actually.

Is this a reversal on his stance about the gays?

Damn. I'd think the hunch would be cured when you went to heaven, but I'm not a theologian.

After the fire had gone out, the fact that his mark appeared in the ashes was seen as proof of the miraculous visitation.

So, because for the SPLIT-SECOND the fire was photographed, and the image is sort of the same, they consider this a sign?!

Now if the fire walked around blessing people and turning water into wine, then I'd have a little more faith.

Could this have anything to do with the blasphemy that opens Legally Blonde?

Phyllis, to take a page from Diva's post; if the flame had been walking in front of the Palace Theatre, then, yes.

But he's waving.

Doesn't that mean he's not pissed?

i personally think it's kind of cool.

I'm sure if I had the time, I could find a picture of Satan somewhere that has the same outline...



I mean, c'mon, at least he would have shown up in something that could have been sold on eBay, like a grilled cheese sandwich or a bathroom window...

It's from Vatican TV...they show things like this and reruns of THE FLYING NUN and are jumping into the reality TV arena with WHO'S THE NEXT MONSIGNIOR?
