Do not start this kind of talk while he is on his deathbed.

Have some respect.

I can see your point, yet at the same time there is little point in moderating your tone if that is the way you feel just because the person in question happens to be dying. To some the pope was a great man, yet to many he wasn't. We cannot just show a blanket sense of respect to all who are dying just to avoid confrontation with those with a different point of view, can we?

Know but we can always take the advice of:
"If u have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all"

I respect that there are many here who dislike the Pope for who he is. But I am pointing at WHAT he is, and at the moment that is an elderly man going through a prolonged and painful death.

So for the sake of common decency, do not speak of the dying in such bad taste.

Yes, and we were all to follow that piece of advice the world would sure be a wonderful place.

what's the go with the double standards in this board?
i'm not allowed to criticise the pope because he's dying? fuck off
he meant a lot of different things to different people, to me his views were simply retarded and irrelevant.
as a person, it sucks i guess
but what he stood for, i'd like to see die

I have such distaste for the man that i cannot hold back my prejudice. I refuse to join in with the people who hold him in such great esteem just because he was the pope. He made a lot of bad choices in his papacy and since now, his death, seems to be only the time when people actually discuss his life and the papacy, i find it to be most appropriate to speak out against his actions.

If i have offended anyone, apologies.

Whats not cool!? He has set the Catholic Church back to the days before VII. Now it holds no relevance to contemporary believers. Stop being such high-horsed sissys.
