*Gasp* What?! I love the Ataris! How stinking sad.

I'm sorry. I don't have much to say about the Pope. I don't know anything about him. I'm sorry that others are sad though.

I hope this isn't tasteless, as I just mean it as an observation, but I found it so odd that whenever they showed the Pope on TV he was surrounded by gold and silk and jewels and ornate lavishness. It seems so against everything Jesus stood for. I wonder how the Pope felt about it.
