I know it sounds bizarre but what if this was just some elaborate hoax by the Catholic institution to 'stage' the death of the Pope?
First we are told that he is dying, then his condition is stabilizing enough to schedule appoints for the future, then we find out that he is hooked up to a respirator, then he's dead, then he's alive...now he's dying again. People are sitting on the edge of their living room chair trying to keep up with the status of the Pope across the world. Sounds like an elaborate joke.

The appointments he's making might be questionable, as in - are they his appointments or are they being made 'for him' by his attendants?
It's a strange situation, no doubt.

Holy crap. Cardinals are being flown in from around the world. Italian police are setting up routes for the hundereds of thousands of mourners to come. The president is being briefed constantly on John Pauls condition and you want to make a serious suggestion that this is a conspiracy? If he isnt dead by the time you read this he will be shortly, maybe while I type this..I may be a disaffected Catholic but the mere suggestions that he may fake his death and flee Italy? For what? Hes suffered tremendously...the photos of him trying to speak the other day were painful to even look at. Hes finished....the sick suggestions that you all have made are astoundingly offensive. Im stunned at the lengths too many on ATS will go in order to get their posts read.

US politicians are now so obcenely rich and powerful that if your not partisan to one side or another you will most likely be crushed under their now not so subtle iron fists in one way or another. If it gets to the point where the FCC starts burning books which is the terrifying direction they seem to be going in then save a spot in Sydney for me mate!
