Aw, Pope.

I was raised a Catholic and still, despite not actually attending church for one year, still consider myself a Catholic (except for the whole abortion/birth control/priest abstinence stuff) just by default. It sticks with you.

So I'm sad about the Pope being sick, but you know, when it's your time, it's your time. The guy is obviously suffering. The Catholic church condemed the court's actions for disconnecting Terry Schiavo's feeding tube, even though *she* was suffering and a shell of herself. Now they'll do whatever they can to keep the pope alive and unwell, though he is indeed on the last legs of a long, fulfilling life.

Ah, the irony. Catholicism is full of it.
