sick.

2. Thank you!

Constructive criticism is fine with me, but don't kick a guy when he's down.

3. you'e welcome

i don't think i'd be able to be on DU the day the Pope dies. I'll either break something or i'll say something that'll get me banned.

5. I don't think I can stand it either and I'm not a Catholic!

BTW: That's a cute dog in your post.

7. thanks!

we, and most importantly he, could use all the support we can get!

glad you like the dog. i wish it were mine, but i found his pic online and loved it.

8. Dog looks like s/he is praying! Maybe praying for

the pope?

9. Just stay in our group when he dies. One of my

motives in proposing this group was to give us a safe haven when His Holiness dies. I had to avoid DU when Reagan died because I believe in showing civility when someone you don't like dies.

10. I intend to stay here, if he dies.

I've already had a post deleted for commenting that the opening post was an example of sophomoric crassness (which it was), yet the opening post remains.

Ironic, isn't it?

12. Hi DemBones,

Thank you so much for proposing and starting this Forum. I like taking refuge here. :hi: :loveya:

4. The irony...

is that those doing the kicking don't realize that John Paul II would never respond by kicking back.

[pres2032]

6. right, and that he even personally forgave the guy who tried to kill him.

how many people could do that?

13. I just saw a clip of the Holy Father's

prison visit to his assailant last night on TV (on CNN, I think). It was wonderful to watch. :)

14. The power of forgiveness is often not appreciated.

I've seen that footage, and it is indeed powerful.

:D

15. This is not permitted.

I believe I already told you this:
