Too bad people dont seem to care as much about all the other people in the world that died that day.

Perhaps if every life is valued as much the world might be a little better place.

Does anyone care that since 1998 3 800 000 people died during civil war in kongo? Thats a sad record since WW II and it won't stop in the next time. But we should focus on the pope because he was so incredibly holy.
In my opinion if u want to honor the pope then do something to end poverty and war, like he always did.

the pope was an amazing induvidual, he mastered (I think around) 8 languages. That in itself deserves some praise.. Otherwise, i still think its a april fools joke from that holy man.

not true at all, mabey not as many people would be afected, but i know if i die (you might not give a shit) but the freinds and family i have would definitly be hurt and sad. in short, true not as many peps would be affected sone allways will tho.treating death so care free is moronic. i had family that died, they wherent know throughout the world, does that mean NO one cared, no it still hurt me and other quite deeply. dont be so callous

Wow... I see a lot of people here showing some respect for the deceased Pope, that's good... The man did what he thought was right, and took action, that's very admirable IMO.

He IS the only pope to ever visit nearly every country in the world, including those small ones not even recognized by the majority.
