Because no mod has said so, and I think its always a nice reminder to say that discussions of religion are usually discouraged to keep this site friendly for all. As this topic mearly points out the death of a man many in the world respected and loved, It should be fine. Just please everyone - be civil.

May he be brought directly to heaven, on the side of Jesus and Holy Father.

Amen.

^^^ Thats funny ^^^

This world is a very strange place. You can talk and talk about a celebrity dying, like christopher reeves, and many participate, no problems etc etc.

But a disclaimer needs to be left when a post is made about the pope dying. A world leader and representative in his own right, even beyond religion. One of the greatest pope's in many centuries, in many many catholic and non-catholic opinions.

The guy was nothing but good...and a disclaimer needs to be left about posting on this topic....again....a very strange world we live in.

The guy was nothing but good...

There isn't and never was a person on earth that was nothing but good ;)

He was someone who did a lot of good and may he rest in peace though. I have nothing but best wishes to all of those who care for him.

He's not the only one....there are plenty.
