Firstly, to the very end the Pope possessed complete control of his mental faculties. He may have physically feeble, as a result of Parkinson's disease, but he was very strong in mind and spirit. That applies to many people. Many people who have done good deeds for others. But are their funerals broadcasted over the world? And are they prayed for by thousands of people? No, they're not.
Speaking of respect, it appears that you are completely lacking in respect for the dead. I'm definitely not, I can assure you. I just don't want respect to be biased. Or based on someone's title or religious status. It seems that the Catholic church is not very generous with respect either.
What's more, you lack respect for life, something every human has a right to - yes, even unborn children, and disabled/old people. I value everyone's life. But to prevent the birth of disabled children, for example, is valuing life as it should be. They won't have a happy life. Maybe they won't even know they're alive. And it's a heavy burden for the parents as well, some won't be able to live with it. As the world is now, with all the difficulties that have not yet been solved by science, it's better to spare a child life as a disabled person.
"Unwanted babies." Why do they occur? Because people are so careless with their sexuality. If they had respect for the sacredness of sex, there would be no need for contraception and abortion. Tell that the guy who wants to rape you.
I didn't want to sound rude. But I've always stated my opinion shortly and clearly. If I appeared rude to you, I will apologize. But I won't apologize for my opinion.
