He is at a point of no return nothing can be done to save him now so saying he is dead isnt all that far off although premature , I think "toast" is a far better description.
As for John Paul , He scores points for opossing communism/Fascism and anti semitism or anything ending with a "ism" for that matter ,Scores points for being the first Pontiff to admit the mistakes and dark history of the church and requesting forgiveness.
Loses points for his soft overly permissive aproach to deal with molesting priests, The church lossed all credibility here when it failed to hand in known pediphiles among itself to proper authorities or the very least strip them of their priesthood , Repentense isnt a liscense to rape and sodomize little children just the same as murder , You cant just kill someone and then run to a confession stand bleed your heart out and it all goes away all is forgiven with no punnishment or consiquence.
I hope seriously they elect a black Pope so all that unecessary bling bling can finally serve some purpose. Maybe we could send the pope mobile to west coast customs and have it totally pimped out!
