Pope's funeral, Blogger not working, quizzes
Watching the Pope's funeral now... I need to stay up! It's been an interesting service so far... I like the stories, people's memories, homily, and songs. I'm not Roman Catholic or anything, but I don't mind watching the whole thing. He'll live on in our hearts and minds, as well as in the legacy he left for the world.
I'm currently watching Pope John Paul II's funeral live from the Vatican. I am just marveled at the sights I'm seeing: four kings, five queens, seventy presidents and prime ministers, and more than 2 million people at St. Peter's Basilica.
I've been following the events after the Pope's death and it amazes me how much he has touched the world. People of all races, faiths, and beliefs are now one in mourning for his loss. Leaders of tense countries are all in one place for one reason. For once, the world is in a solemn mood.
This funeral, perhaps the biggest funeral in history, is just so majestic. I am just in awe. The world may have lost a great leader, a great man, but his legacy lives on. Totus Tuus, Pope John Paul II. You'll live in our hearts, forever.
Karol Wojtyla "Giovanni Paolo II" (1920-2005)
John Paul II, Pope of the Catholic Church since 1978 (native of Poland, known for his religious conservatism, his patience, and his desire to live in brotherhood with people of all races and faiths).
If / when Blogger works consistently for me, I'll backdate these posts! This just in from the Blogger Status Page: "If you are experiencing problems loading Blogger.com, please try clearing the cookies in your browser." (at 1:51 AM) It seemed to work, but got hung up when I tried to update my blog. Sigh. :(

You scored as Latin. You should learn Latin! Though a dead language, Latin is present in science, history, English, and, of course, the Romance languages. Have fun with those declensions!

We are a social species, and are therefore often more concerned with the way things look than the way they are. By acting slightly older than you feel, you're establishing a pattern of dissatisfaction and insecurity, which will likely chase you to the grave. That said, we are a social species, and looking good will always win you favor. |

You're Othello. Destroyed by jealousy. Watch out
