I'm convinced that this Pope has made a great deal of work to make this place a better world. Anyway, i think he will die soon and then, we will have a new Pope, let's pray for the new Pope to be a tremendous example of human beeing as John Paul II and to take actions in some of the religious needs of the catholics around the world.

May not have been forced but still all this 'work' he has to do, continually day after day having to do something can't of been helpful to his condition. I have no problems with old people working as long as they're fit to. But you can tell me he has in the last 5 years been up to all holding mass, the guy looks so tired when he's giving mass plus people can bearly understand him anymore. I think it would have been more appropriate if he has retired, and like most retired taken it easy perhaps gone a cruise or something.
