the pope has passed away. websites all around the globe about prophecies say that the end is near. the vatican is in a major huddle right now. for one, i would like to see a non-european (read: american, asian, or even black) pope to succeed karol wojtyla in st. peter's chair.
here's something to think about.
okay, people are going around saying that we should all pray for the pope. if he is the pope, being a symbol of christians everywhere, being the appointed leader of the religion, being the successor of peter, being the one supposedly holiest among us in our lifetime, why does he need to be prayed for?
if you're saying that we have to pray for his soul to enter heaven, wouldn't he have something equivalent to an e-pass in our superhighways? he wasn't sinful, now was he? you wouldn't need to pray for his soul, he's got it made already.
so, can anyone tell me why you need to pray for his soul? because when i hear that phrase, i assume that someone needs help on going to heaven. someone please kindly clear that up for me?
