Italian News Reports The Pope Has Died (incorrectly)

Posted: 4/1/05 at 1:32pm

He was a wondeful man and a former actor.

Apparently they were wrong. The latest report is that his brain and heart are still functioning.

CNN doesn't say yet.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

All they're waiting for an official announcement is for certain procedures to be followed. Apparently his cardiogram has gone flat. (live radio)

I hope God continues to bless him.

Well, they normally close the shutters on the Pope's residence. That hasn't happened yet.

A religious icon and a politician are two very different things. Tread lightly, because people will take much more serious offense to such statements. If you can hold your tongue just this once, I would plead for it. Thank you for your consideration.

I didn't like his policies, that's for sure. Yet he is an important figure to many, many people, and this IS a very important moment.

Every single one of us will pass this way but once.

This is a time to show respect for a fellow human being.

Actually, given the heightened sense of importance, I'd put death number one as Terri Schiavo, followed by the Pope. The 3rd, I suppose, it still up in the air, but if it were to be Jerry Falwell, talk about a religious (or religiously-fueled) trio.

Some people consider Bush a religious icon. I feel sad for the Pope, but I've been disgusted by many of his comments. His ideas had been outdated for quite a while. At least he lived a long full life.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I don't agree with some of it, just as I don't agree with W. on everything. But I will NOT have this debate now. I don't think it's appropriate.

Much like W.'s obnoxious politicising of the Schiavo passing, I don't think that the Pope's imminent passing is a time for the debate. During the eventual selection of a successor... game on.

I only ask for respect, or at least silence, for a man that is the spiritual rock of billions.

I don't imagine that the Terri Schiavo's death, although reported worldwide, will come close to the worldwide news story that the Pope's death will be. He is the 5th Pope in my lifetime; but, many people (most of the population on this Board), haven't known another.
