Eludia Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 This will not affect me directly, and to be honest it does not bother me any more than the death of any old man whom I have never met. I am more bothered by the tsunami and things like the aids epidemic in Africa. But I am sorry for anyone who is affected by this, and I do understand he did some good things.

Loth Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I'm not Catholic, so I can't sympathise with many. I don't respect the late Pope for being the leader of the largest religion (not that this is something that doesn't deserve respect), but I respect him for his intelligence and leadership abilities. As I've said before, it's sad for him to have passed away, but I feel that every death should recieve the same respect. It is a big deal to many, but this event will not directly effect my life in any way. Well said, couldn't agree more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy93 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Argh.. I hate it when people die.. But the Pope is very special... And lots of people respect him. http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite ... r=Smithy93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi08 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I'm rather unmoved aswell just because some huy dies doens't meen that we should all stop to remember him... what about all the innocent lives that are lost every day that nobody thinks about. Hes dead lets just get a new one. :roll: Did you know that some people actually care about the pope? Did you know that the pope means a lot to a lot of people? Did you know that when someone you care about dies, you can't just "get a new one" without feeling sad and stop to remember him as a sign of respect? If you died, your family can't just get a new you, they'd mourn and miss you. Thanks for the sig, Runesmithie :)RIP Steve Irwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunli Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 For millions of catholics and even for some non-catholics, the Pope was a spiritual icon and tourch in a troublesome word. For their sake, you should thread careful when you post your opinions about this head of the catholic church, if you for some reasons want to say something negative about him.

Lionheart_0 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 This does not affect me at all, but it will affact many, i know that. He must of been a great man, if he was one of the most loved pope's ever. Even though i shall not mourn for his death, i will respect others, and him. Oh and to the person who said something about his mumbling... i watched the news last night when they annoucend it. they showed a clip of a mass he whent to when he was much younger... that man had a very strong voice. He was probably one of the world strongest and best leaders. So to those who are being disrespectfull... Shut up and let other people do their thing! Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

Mayjest Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I'm a Christian, and so I'm sad and all cos he died. He was a good man, good leader, yadda yadda yadda, everything that is said as a given in this situation (hey, at least I give a damn, rather than most on this topic). But, I will be looking at this from the point of view of the Church (as I always will in matters like this). To be honest, I see nothing but opportunity here. As head of the Catholic Church, you'd assume that his ascension into heaven is assured, so I don't know why everyone is still praying. He's gone, he's already up there with the saints and the angels (and I'm not being sarcastic, I do really believe that), now lets start concentrating on whats happening now. The current candiadates for Pope present an interesting mix. Some of them are actually quite big on unity and faith in scripture! There's one bloke from Latin America who looks like a good one, and theres another one from Germany who's okay. The next Pope's gonna have far more problems than the old one, and will need to be a much more active force in the world. The Catholics need someone who can shoulder that burden. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

bs_johannes Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 There's nothing wrong in being respectful, like I'm trying to be. However, i hope that the next pope is less conservative on the matter of preventives etc. While volunteerworking in Kenya where most people are very religios, catholic or protestants, the popes word on the matter of HIV/AIDS and conddoms weighs heavier than anything we can say or do. We have made a tour around Kenya with our AIDS information show, i'll post a link to the video as soon as i get home. We'll see white smoke in a few days and then we'll know about the next pope.

underu2000 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I feel sympathetic too, the pope was a great man. But why is this ancient (few months old) thread back up? Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
