I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing... just one example for instance:
Strange Famous:
As the Pope lay on his deathbed, worshippers around the globe held special prayers for the man who helped bring down the Iron Curtain but drew criticism from liberal Catholics who opposed his proclamations against contraception, abortion, married priests and women clergy.
Then his last words...
Fohur2:
"I am happy--let you be happy, also. Let's pray together with joy; I entrust everything to the Virgin Mary with joy".
I don't understand and haven't learned a lot about Catholic perspective, I have only recently seen how different it is from the Christian perspectives. To me it seems very 'ego' dominated. Yes, good things come with it but at what cost?
Surely the next Pope will have to carry on in the same tradition with the same values and principles because anything otherwise would be like branching off into another religion.
