Still Waiting

An announcement is expected to be made any moment regarding Pope John Paul II's imminent death. The Pope, who has been in failing health for several years, is reportedly in a coma. If he is comatose, he is probably feeling no pain and will pass peacefully into death. This is good to know. I don't want to think of a good man, and this Pope is a good man, being in pain.

Greg Palkot of FoxNews says he does not expect a statement to be made that the Pope is clinging to life, but rather that the Pope has died. And, why would statements be issued saying that he's still holding on. We all know that. So, I agree with Palkot. The next statement made, whether in a few minutes or hours, or even days, will be of the Pope's passing.

May God have Mercy.
