Is there still a chance the Pope could pull through?
Reports say he's still conscious and talking. He must be as strong
as a horse!

2. Vatican said his condition was "irreversible"
His kidneys shut down.

4. I was wondering the same thing.
If he does, won't the cable networks be embarrassed. If he should recover, then in a week or so, relapse, they can just rerun this programming.

5. I would think that if there
was any chance they would have taken him to the hospital. He wanted to be at his home so I doubt that they see any chance.

6. I am so impressed by his constitution
He's been a sick, frail old man for so long. To hang on the point
of death for days like this - at 85 - is amazing to me. If he
makes it my jaw will be on the floor for a month.

8. My 81-year-old father lived 13 days....
after his kidneys shut down and he had a simultaneous heart attack. He was lucid and able to eat pureed food for about the first week.

7. APriest on Cnn yesterday said "Yes, if we pray hard enough"
So it's all up to the Catholics, I guess.

I thougth it was a pretty insensitive thing to say.
