The Pope is in the hospital... There is no way of knowing how close to the end he may be.
In my 26 years I have never known another Pope. He has always loomed as a figure big as life to me. As much as I support liberalizing the church, (Birth control anyone?) I have always had enormous respect for him.
I suspect when the inevitable moment arrives and I hear that His Holiness has passed, I will feel a great deal of personal loss.
Your Holiness, you have served God faithfully and well. I pray that the Church will make it through this time of turmoil quickly. And I pity the man who is to succeed you. They will serve in quite a shadow.
I may not agree with a lot of church doctrine, but I will always respect you.
