Concerning the death of John Paul II
He was NOT euthanized.
“Pope John Paul II was cared for until the last moment of his life, when at 9:37 p.m. on April 2, 2005, he breathed his last.
“It is true that he had previously told his doctors, ‘Let me go to the Lord.’ But that was an ascetic phrase, an elevated form of a final prayer of a man who was suffering a great deal and felt the strong desire to draw close to the Heavenly Father.
“It was certainly not a renunciation or a form of anticipated surrender of life. Nor was it an invitation to physicians caring for him to pull the plug or to discontinue care, a sort of indirect choice for euthanasia, as some are insinuating. Whoever believes this, is wrong.” - Zenit
So don’t believe what you will no doubt be hearing from the secular media.

Please.
Italian media is a joke, and every half-aware person in the Western world knows it.
Our “Dewey Defeats Truman” Chicago Tribune headline is still laughed about, held up as an example of rushed journalism, even all these decades later. This kind of crap happens EVERY DAY in the Italian media.
Remember, they reported that the Pope was dead for WEEKS before he died. They report that Castro is dead every other day. They are flaming idiots.
This woman should be ashamed to call herself a “journalist.”
