01 Apr 05 - 12:18 AM (#1448602) Subject: BS: Last rites given.... From: Shanghaiceltic I read that Pope John Paul II has been given his last rites. I am not a Catholic nor a christian but I feel somewhat saddened that a man who had such charisma is about to pass on. For him it will mean a release and probably a thankful one. I was based in Scotland when he made his one and only visit there at the beginning of his papacy and I was struck by his strength of character and vitality. Though I could not agree on many things he said in his life I still thought the man had that 'something' which set him apart. The same is true of the Dalai Lama, a man who seems to exude an aura of power but also one of compassion. Any other people you can think of who have that capability? |

01 Apr 05 - 12:42 AM (#1448607) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: Ebbie Interesting question. I agree further- sometimes I have met someone in my life who, for whatever reason (whether because of personality or politics or being related to someone they knew), did not like me or feel comfortable with me while I came away feeling that the person was an extraordinary human being (Not BECAUSE s/he didn't like me!). It made me aware that sometimes being liked is not important; it is more important that one sees the other person clearly. I feel the same way about the pope. I too am not Catholic but I have met some priests whom I love and feel in the presence of something godly when I'm with them. And I know that when he dies there will be many bereft people in the world. (Although I have never understood: When so many religions teach that the afterlife is much better/grander/wiser than life here on earth, why do they regret anyone's death????) |

01 Apr 05 - 01:10 AM (#1448619) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: Stilly River Sage We saw this pope a couple of times when he was visiting New York City in 1979. Stopped traffic all over Manhattan, and when he went down to the Battery to address a crowd in the park they literally closed the entire New York Harbor. I worked out at Ellis Island, and we could go up on the roof with binoculars and look over at the Battery to see his white figure and the crowds. And every time we went on the roof, a helicopter appeared from seemingly nowhere to keep an eye on us. It will be a momentous event when it happens. Juxtaposed as it probably will be, between Terri Schiavo and Prince Rainier, it could be a really odd or unusual spring as far as world opinion and politics and the discussions that take place. SRS |

01 Apr 05 - 02:15 AM (#1448645) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: Liz the Squeak Guest Hmmmm - it is unlikely that will occur as he remains fairly lucid and has refused a feeding tube. Although I disagree with some of his teachings and certain life choices he has chosen to deny Catholics, I have a great deal of respect for him. He was selected to be Pontiff in a time where the early teachings of the Catholic church have very little relevance to the majority of the world, but he chose to uphold those teachings and stayed faithful to his beliefs. He travelled the world in the early years of his appointment, more than any other Pope had, He has encouraged a greater communication and understanding between Catholic and Protestant, he has remained firm in his faith and I have no doubt that St Peter is making a space for his representative when he finally comes home.

So Christ and Moses show up in New York City and take a ride around town on their way to St. Patrick's Cathedral. They see the South Bronx and cruise through Harlem and see people sleeping in boxes all over town. Arriving at the cathedral they are overwhelmed with the pageantry of it all as high mass is underway in their honor. The Pope has flown in especially for the occasion and Christ remarks to Moses that perhaps one of the rings the Pope is wearing might be worth enough to feed and clothe several families for years. So that's it then isn't it? What would Christ and Moses think? If you profess to be a man of god and you own more than one suit of clothes while somebody in the rest of the world has none.....you're a shyster man....a con artist with captive audience."

I might not agree with all his decisions (I don't, as a matter of fact), but hey... ...he was a newborn baby once. So this non-Catholic feels sad. For the baby. |

From: katlaughing He may be a great person, but I cannot mourn the loss of someone who imposes such teachings as he does on the *faithful.* (I know it's his job and he may have done it admirably.) In my opinion, there is no comparison between him and the Dalai Lama. Thanks, Spaw, for the excellent analogy. It will be interesting with the three very prominent cases along about the same time. LtS, as of yesterday, he was on a feeding tube: "Pope John Paul II is being fed through a nasal tube in an effort to boost his caloric intake, according to a statement from the Vatican. The 84-year-old pope needed better nutrition to regain his strength, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said." I know public figures are fair game for news stories, but, again, I feel the details should be private and there must be more news in the world than five-minute updates on this on every news channel there is. Let the poor man have some dignity and peace without the constant angst-ridden reports from some pundit standing outside, parroting whatever press release has been handed them. My apologies for any offence. kat |

From: freda underhill I understand what you mean, ebbie, about disagreeing with someone but admiring them. some people just radiate charisma - yes, i strongly disagree with some of the pope's attitudes, but i know he tried very hard to be a pure representation of what he thought his faith was about. and he brought a lot of comfort and inspiration to a lot of people. I have a friend who is very strong minded, sometimes totally off the wall. he is a very powerful person, very smart, does a lot of good. when i say powerful i mean his presence, his personality. he is quite powerless in his personal situation. he is someone i admire greatly, for that humour and warmth. |

01 Apr 05 - 07:59 AM (#1448885) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: George Papavgeris Kendall, I think as a rule we mourn our own loss of something; in this case a leader, a good man, or just a human. Also, even if we believe that there is a better life after this one for the departed, we sometimes mourn the loss of opportunity for them in this life (death of a child or young person). So I don't see faith and mourning as mutually exclusive. |

01 Apr 05 - 08:27 AM (#1448920) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: Rapparee It's not "Extreme Unction" or "Last Rites" anymore. It's called something like the "Anointing of the Sick" and it's intended to impart spiritual strength to accept whatever comes and, hopefully, to help the person get well. As for the "life choices he has chosen to deny Catholics" -- well, many, many, many Catholics around the world have chosen to deny his denials. The official positions of the Catholic Church and the actual practice of Catholics can be miles apart. As an example, consider the gap between the teaching of the Vatican on birth control and the actual practice. (Yes, I'm quite aware that Humani Vitae was written two Popes back -- I'm just using this as an example.) As a friend of mine, an Emeritus Professor at a Catholic college, once said, "We try not to let our Church interfer with our Religion." |

People "respect" the position of authority because that is what they are taught to do, so they "respect" the people that fill those positions by default, really. It has to do with the reptilean brain. Once it's programmed to think a certain way, that's it. Hence, the pope is "respected" by millions of people who's lives he never touches. Go figure. |

01 Apr 05 - 01:03 PM (#1449215) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: McGrath of Harlow "Let the poor man have some dignity" I can't imagine anyone showing much more dignity than John Paul has demonstrated in these last few appearances. There seems to be a presumption sometimes that dignity is tied up with not being dependent on other people, and not being weak and vulnerable. I think that's about 180 degrees off the truth. Obviously there's nothing sad about what's happening. Except in the older sense where "sad" means "serious", and is appropriate for an occasion when we are drawn to think about serious things, like our own mortality, and the time left to us, and what we are going to do with it. |

01 Apr 05 - 01:58 PM (#1449272) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: GUEST No, I don't agree with that interpretation either. If one lives a full life, with health and wealth like yer man in the Vatican had, the Christian view is one should REJOICE at the death, because it is a return to You Know Whoville. What is it with people who are obsessed with seriousness in these cases? He is an old man. He lived better than most royalty on the planet lives. Why shouldn't we rejoice that he is being released from his earthly burdens and suffering? There are some truly morbid folks both terrified of and obsessed with death. Which I think is pretty whacked, unless it is happening to you and yours, IMO. I consider all this "oh how sad" stuff to be a phony act. |

I have a sister in law, who is a nun, and heads up the religion department at a major Catholic university. She didn't like the pope either. In fact, she and many American Catholic progressives like her, think this pope was TERRIBLE for Catholicism. He was extremely conservative, and did all he could to turn back the tide of Vatican II. As to being an anti-war pope, puhleez! He sure wasn't anti-war when the war was on the poor in Latin America, that's for sure! He didn't even bat an eye when Archbishop Romero was assassinated. So, don't go lecturing to the world that we "must" admit anything, just to agree with YOUR opinion of the pope. |

01 Apr 05 - 04:01 PM (#1449405) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: PoppaGator A big part of the drama and concern over the death of a Pope is anticipation of the next Pope. For the first time in centuries, it's not a likely bet that it'll be an Italian Vatican insider. The surprise election of JP put an end to that monopoly. It probably will be another conservative type, though. Progressive Catholicism as practiced in the US and Western Europe may well continue to be more and more marginalized, valued as a major source of income but ignored/suppressed when it comes to theology, scholarship, etc. The Church is thriving in those parts of the world where it is most conservative, notably in the southern hemisphere and "third world." An African Pope is still probaly unlikley, but don't be surprised to see a Latin American get elected. |

01 Apr 05 - 06:15 PM (#1449540) Subject: RE: BS: Last rites given.... From: PoppaGator GUEST, I know the Pope is Polish. His election as the first non-Italian in, like, forever, was a surprise and "broke the mold" for all future conclaves. Re-read what I wrote. Are you correct in your assertion the "he" appointed a bunch of bishops and cardinals today? I wouldn't be surprised, actually. The Pope has long been a figurehead as far as day-to-day operations are concerned, and the clique that runs the Vatican is notorious for how jealously they weild their considerable power. The possible scenario of a semi-comatose JP hanging on to life ~ and nominal authority ~ for weeks/months/years, a la Ms. Schiavo, would provide a field day (well, more than one day, certainly) for that conniving bunch. Despite the power of the "invisible" rulers of the Vatican, the Pope himself has tremendous influence and is probably the one World Leader with the greatest personal power of all. JPII, for all his faults and shortcomings, seems to me to have been a basically positive force throughout his tenure. |

He packed 'em into stadiums, but couldn't get 'em into the pews. That's the true failure of this papal run. His conservate attack on Vatican II reforms, his cashing in on celebrity, his barnstorming to every country, pumping out the propaganda about the "transparent papacy" and all that crap didn't do jack to reverse the trend of the people bleeding from the church in the first world, and the superstitious traditionalists from the third world flocking to him as a "mystic" claiming to be on the side of the poor (in his Italian designer shoes that apparently rivalled the Imelda collection) to hitch their git along to. Just because somebody has a title, doesn't mean they are deserving of our respect. That is just as true (and probably more so with religious political leaders) for a pope as it is for a president or prime minister. |

BTW, did you ever answer my question about the Cobb Lund Band? Ere ye a redneck or a roughneck? You'd better hire him on, cause he's gonna scrape up twenty dollars and pull the dragons from the town. Weird Al could have a field day if he would just read my lyrics. |

You mean, like, how can so many Catholic Irish play for ManU at one time? Especially that young Irishman Renaldo.

It's like he's been resurrected! What a game today. Hey, it's my way. You have yours, I have mine. I'll bet JP would enjoy the highlights. It was an excellent game. |
