Because there is no Christian whose dying is so closely watched as the pope's, there is no Christian better placed to teach again the ancient lesson that earthly life is not to be clung to.



Bull. And. Shit.

By Catholic standards, life is to be clung to. Giving up on life no matter how far down the line you are is not an option. If you must suffer by struggling claw and tooth to stay in this world until your perseverance becomes insignificant in the face of imminent death, then so be it. Sacrifice is what this religion's about.
