I've just heard through the grapevine that Pope John Paul II is dead! Can you believe it? What a shock!

Bloody hell, I haven't heard anything about this! :eek2:


;)

Really? Don't bullshit, is he balls.

where have u been?

What?! No! What happened, he was so healthy the last time he appeared in public, who would have expected him to die! I'm shocked and amazed .....

:ohno:

Who the hell is the pope?

This is a disgrace, the media have kept us in the dark over this and have hardly mentioned it ;)

I wouldn't believe everything you read.

Who the hell is the pope?
The Pope is leader of the Catholic Church, the world's largest group of Christians.

Pope John Paul's body has been carried by pall bearers in a procession though the Vatican's Apostolic Palace on its way to St Peter's Basilica, where it will be put on public view.

The procession on Monday of cardinals, bishops and dignitaries snaked its way slowly through the Vatican's frescoed hallways and down stone stairways.

The Pope's body lay on a red velvet litter. It was carried by 12 ushers who had served him in the Vatican and was flanked by Swiss Guard in ceremonial uniform.

The body was preceded by monks carrying lit candles to the sounding of the chanting of the "Lord have mercy", sung in Latin, and a ritual litany asking all the Saints of the Church to pray for the deceased.

It was due to leave the Vatican though the city-state's huge Bronze Door entrance and be carried through St Peter's Square, where the body will lie in state until the funeral on Friday.

Tens of thousands of people were lined up on the broad boulevard leading to the basilica, most waiting for hours to pay their respects to the Pontiff, who died on Saturday.

Dead my arse. He's gone into hiding because he's committed a terrible crime he doesn't want to be remembered for :evil:

Ever heard of irony James C?

no one expects the evil dolls!!!!

He's dead?! You're kidding, right?

Hmm...ok, I'm trying to go against the grain here and not be so sarcastic...

...but at the end of the day I will be so let's forget the whole thing, invite the pope around for dinner and a cup of tea and go about our business yeah?

Shit! I was sarcastic!

The rumours definitely true, a mate of mine works for Granada and they've already cleared saturday nights schedule to find a replacement with Pope Idol

I thought we could revive this thread since the current Pope is about 80 years old already.

When I saw the thread I was like...

'Ol' Benny Is dead? :eek:'

It's his wife and kids who I feel sorry for.

it's those who are still deluded into following him I feel sorry for ;)

:rofl:

Remember Bishop Brennan in Father Ted, he had a secret family in L.A.

The Pope flies over Bavaria and 2 days later the country is flooded. Coincidence? I think not, especially considering that he flew right over his hometown at a pretty low altitude (and that area was devastated later on).

I've just spoken to a few people and it seems it is indeed true, Pope John Paul II is dead.

RIP popey.

Why did u bump this Blunth you made me think the new Pope was dead!!!

Bastard you got my hopes up ;)

I think we should start a thread - "Which celebrity(s) do you think will die next?"

Oh yeah, the pope dying. That was the week it suddenly became cool to be a Catholic. This lasted for about eight days.

I'm putting my money on Castro. Last night on the news he was looking terrible.

until the Da Vinci Code hoo-ha, when Conversions to Catholicism actually increased dramatically!

It was an evil Vatican plot.

Don't be silly. I think we'd have heard about it by now wouldn't we?! :bash: :nuts: :crazy:

Unless you're joking... but then this really isn't a subject you should be joking about :no: :nono:

Gazza will probably be the next to die.

Off with Zim's head, death to those that insult Golom:lol:

I want the popemobile

I've noticed that the Pope Mobile is a Mercedes. I wonder if the make of the car changes with the nationality of the pope?

y'know, it might!

i'd love to see a cadillac eldorado as a pope mobile. so classy.

:)

When i saw the thread i thought Bennedict XVI was dead..

^^ He might be

^^ He might be

He must be hehehehe j/k

If Pope Bennedict XVI does die, do we need a new thread? Or should this be an uber thread for all dead Popes?

Nah.. we do not need another thread..

Nobody post until Pope Bennedict XVI is dead ;)

okey dokey

ROFL

I have a funny feeling this thread will continue for a while. The Pope is still going to Turkey and there are growing threats against him and violent protests.

^^ Wow 41 people in a 15.000.000 city protested against his visit!! And it wasn't violent either, they just prayed in the Hagia Sophia!
