Pope John Paul II Dies at 84
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope John Paul II, who helped topple communism in Europe and left a deeply conservative stamp on the church that he led for 26 years, died Saturday night in his Vatican apartment, ending a long public struggle against debilitating illness. He was 84.
"We all feel like orphans this evening," Undersecretary of State Archbishop Leonardo Sandri told the crowd of 70,000 that gathered in St. Peter's Square below the pope's still-lighted apartment windows.
A Mass was scheduled for St. Peter's Square for 10:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. EDT) Sunday. The pope's body was expected to be taken to St. Peter's Basilica no earlier than Monday afternoon, the Vatican said.
It said the College of Cardinals - the red-robed "princes" of the Roman Catholic Church - would meet at 10 a.m. (4 a.m. EDT) Monday. They were expected to set a funeral date, which the Vatican said probably would be between Wednesday and Friday.
The statement did not give a precise cause of death.
Bells pealed in mourning after the Vatican said the pope died at 9:37 p.m. (2:37 p.m. EST). The assembled flock fell into a stunned silence before some people broke out in applause - an Italian tradition in which mourners often clap for important figures. Others wept.
John Paul's passing set in motion centuries of tradition that mark the death of the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, whom he led into the faith's third millennium.
The Vatican chamberlain formally verified the death and destroyed the symbols of the pope's authority: his fisherman's ring and dies used to make lead seals for apostolic letters.
The Vatican did not say if the chamberlain followed the ancient practice of verification by calling the pope's name three times and tapping his forehead three times with a silver hammer.
John Paul's funeral will be held within four to six days. The Vatican has declined to say whether he left instructions for his funeral or burial. Most popes in recent centuries have asked to be buried in the crypts below St. Peter's Basilica, but some have suggested the first Polish-born pope might have chosen to be laid to rest in his native country.
As John Paul's death neared, members of the College of Cardinals were already headed toward the Vatican to prepare for the secret duty of locking themselves in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next pope. Tradition calls for the process to begin within 20 days of death.
Among possible successors are German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger - one of the pope's closest aides and the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog. Others mentioned include Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes, Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras, Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Vatican-based Nigerian, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn of Austria and Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi of Italy.
Karol Joseph Wojtyla was a robust 58 when the last papal conclave stunned the world and elected the cardinal from Krakow, the first non-Italian pope in 455 years.
In his later years, John Paul - the most-traveled pope in history - was the picture of frailty. In addition to Parkinson's, he survived a 1981 assassination attempt, when a Turkish gunman shot him in the abdomen, and had hip and knee ailments. His anguished struggle with failing health became a symbol of aging and, in the end, death with dignity.
Outside the Vatican, the crowd of faithful recited the rosary. A seminarian slowly waved a large red and white Polish flag draped with a black band of mourning for the Polish-born pontiff.
Prelates asked those in the square to keep silent so they might "accompany the pope in his first steps into heaven."
As the bells tolled in mourning, a group of young people sang, "Alleluia, he will rise again," while one of them strummed a guitar. Later, pilgrims joined in singing the "Ave Maria."
"The angels welcome you," Vatican TV said after papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls announced the death of the pope, who had for years suffered from Parkinson's disease and came down with fever and infections in recent weeks.
In contrast to the church's ancient traditions, Navarro-Valls announced the death to journalists in the most modern of communication forms, an e-mail that said: "The Holy Father died this evening at 9:37 p.m. in his private apartment." The spokesman said church officials were following instructions that John Paul had written for them on Feb. 22, 1996.
"He was a marvelous man. Now he's no longer suffering," Concetta Sposato, a pilgrim who heard the pope had died as she was on her way to St. Peter's to pray, said tearfully.
"My father died last year. For me, it feels the same," said Elisabetta Pomacalca, a 25-year-old Peruvian who lives in Rome.
"I'm Polish. For us, he was a father," said pilgrim Beata Sowa.
In Washington, President Bush mourned the loss of "a good and faithful servant of God (who) has been called home" and said the pontiff "launched a democratic revolution that swept Eastern Europe and changed the course of history."
A fierce enemy of communism, John Paul set off the sparks that helped bring down communism in Poland, from where a virtual revolution spread across the Soviet bloc. No less an authority than former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev said much of the credit went to John Paul.
But his Polish roots also nourished a doctrinal conservatism - opposition to contraception, abortion and women priests - that rankled liberal Catholics in the United States and western Europe.
A man who had lived under both the Nazis and the Soviets, he loathed totalitarianism, which he called "substitute religion." As pope, he helped foster Poland's Solidarity movement and bring down Communism. Once it was vanquished, he decried capitalist callousness.
During World War II, he appeared on a Nazi blacklist in 1944 for his activities in a Christian democratic underground in Poland. B'nai B'rith and other organizations testified that he helped Jews find refuge from the Nazis.
While the pope championed better relations with Jews - Christianity's "older brothers," as he put it - the Vatican formally recognized Israel in 1993. He also met with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and urged the Holy Land's warring neighbors to reconcile.
John Paul was intent on improving relations with Muslims. On a trip to Damascus, Syria, in May 2001, he became the first pope to step into a mosque.
The 264th pope also battled what he called a "culture of death" in modern society. It made him a hero to those who saw him as their rock in a degenerating world, and a foe to those who felt he was holding back social enlightenment.
"The church cannot be an association of freethinkers," John Paul said.
However, a sex abuse scandal among clergy plunged his church into moral crisis. He summoned U.S. cardinals to the Vatican and told them: "The abuse which has caused this crisis is by every standard wrong and rightly considered a crime by society; it is also an appalling sin in the eyes of God." Critics accused the pope of not acting swiftly enough.
Other critics said that while the pope championed the world's poor, he was not consistent when he rebuked Latin American priests who sought to involve the church politically through the doctrine of "liberation theology."
John Paul's health declined rapidly after he suffered heart and kidney failure following two hospitalizations in as many months. Just two hours before announcing his death, the Vatican had said he was in "very serious" condition, although he was responding to aides.
After his passing, Vatican, Italian and European Union flags were lowered to half-staff. In Washington, flags over the White House also were lowered.
People in John Paul II's hometown in Wadowice, Poland, fell to their knees and wept as the news reached them at the end of a special Mass in the church where he worshipped as a boy.
Church bells rang out after the announcement, but it took several minutes for people inside the packed church to find out as they continued their vigil into a second night.
Then the parish priest, the Rev. Jakub Gil, came to the front as the last hymn faded away. "His life has come to an end. Our great countryman has died," he said. People inside the church and standing outside fell to their knees.
The pope was last seen in public Wednesday when, looking gaunt and unable to speak, he briefly appeared at his window.
His health sharply deteriorated the next day after he suffered a urinary tract infection.
In its final medical statement Saturday, Navarro-Valls said John Paul was not in a coma and opened his eyes when spoken to. But he added: "Since dawn this morning, there have been first signs that consciousness is being affected."
"Sometimes it seems as if he were resting with his eyes closed, but when you speak to him he opens his eyes," Navarro-Valls said.
Navarro-Valls said the pope was still speaking late Friday but did not take part when Mass was celebrated in his presence Saturday morning.
He said aides had told the pope that thousands of young people were in St. Peter's Square on Friday evening. Navarro-Valls said the pope appeared to be referring to them when he seemed to say: "'I have looked for you. Now you have come to me. And I thank you.'" |

42 SGH patients have antibiotic-resistant bug VRE
By Debra Soon, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : Singapore General Hospital says 42 of its patients have Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE).
This is nearly three times the number the hospital announced on April 1.
It says that out of the 42, only one person is infected while the rest are carriers.
The hospital has postponed 600 non-urgent surgeries which were scheduled for the next two weeks.
Since Friday, it has received some 2,000 calls from the public about VRE.
It is still safe for patients to come for their appointments and to visit relatives though this is restricted to two visitors at any time.
On Sunday, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan said VRE antibiotic-resistant bacteria is not a "major problem" in Singapore.
But he said it has the potential to be "very serious" if it becomes entrenched in hospitals, like what is happening in the United States.
VRE is a bacteria which is resistant to the antibiotic Vancomycin.
VRE is spread by contact, usually by touching an infected area of the body or items contaminated with the bacteria. - CNA |

EXPOSED At Boon Lay bus Interchange:
DRUGS SOLD IN BROAD DAYLIGHT April 11, 2005
By Alvin Chiang
[email protected]
THERE is a drug problem in Boon Lay.
And residents say it's getting out of hand.
Men and teenage boys are buying prescription drugs from one another - drugs which can be sold only by doctors.
Like candy, the drugs are bought and sold in broad daylight.
What's more, these pushers don't peddle their pills in seedy back alleys.
They do it right at Boon Lay bus interchange, next to a busy MRT station and a popular shopping mall.
The New Paper on Sunday learnt that several men have been selling subutex - a drug to cope with heroin addiction - and dormicum, a sleeping pill, in the open for more than a year.
It's so brazen now, they don't really bother to hide.
Two years ago, The New Paper first highlighted how drug addicts were abusing subutex by dissolving the pills in hot water and then injecting the mixture into their bodies.
The pill is supposed to be put into the mouth and to be dissolved under the tongue.
Now, the mixture injected into abusers' bodies contains not just subutex but dormicum as well, said past and present subutex abusers.
It appears that demand is high. Some pushers have started hitting the streets to sell subutex and dormicum to whoever can afford them.
This way, drug addicts looking for a quick fix need not register their names with doctors for these pills.
They know they will be monitored by the Central Narcotics Bureau if they visit doctors too often for the pills.
TEMPTATION EVERYWHERE
Ron (not his real name) is a 30-year-old reformed drug addict. He has served his time and is now cured of his heroin addiction.
A former subutex abuser, Ron said he's fed-up that the drugs are sold so openly.
He is afraid he may be tempted to go back to his old ways.
He took us to where the pushers hang out - outside Jurong Point - along a corridor facing the Boon Lay MRT station.
The corridor has a steady stream of passers-by but it is not as busy as the interchange as it is not necessary to walk along the corridor to get to the interchange or the train station.
It was 2pm and, within a minute of arriving at the spot, Ron pointed to a middle-aged man he said was a pusher. He took us to meet the man.
Ron asked for subutex.
The reply was swift. '8mg or 2mg?' the pusher asked the former addict.
Subutex comes in 2mg and 8mg pills.
Ron asked for an 8mg pill and the pusher pulled out a plastic bag of pills from his left sock.
Ron asked the pusher to recommend a doctor we could go to for more pills. The pusher refused to answer.
Instead, he said he only sold a pill at a time for $35 each. At clinics, an 8mg pill is sold for $16 to $20.
A 2mg pill costs $6 to $8 at clinics.
The transaction was over in a minute. Then a runner told the pusher there was another buyer around the corner.
Seconds later, we were approached by two boys who looked no older than 18.
Ron now said he wanted dormicum and they directed us to a walkway just outside Jurong Point. The walkway led to the bus interchange.
In full view of a coffee shop and right next to a shop selling foodstuff, a pusher stood at the walkway surrounded by at least three buyers.
They negotiated prices as several unsuspecting people walked past.
We did not approach the pusher, a bespectacled middle-aged man in a collared shirt and long pants.
He looked like a busy businessman, with a handphone ear piece in his left ear.
The two teenaged boys went up to him and, soon, they returned to say the pusher was selling dormicum for $3 a pill.
Dormicum costs about $3 a pill from a doctor.
The boys then eagerly provided detailed mixing instructions for the two pills.
QUICK FIX
They said: 'The feeling of high you get from subutex and dormicum is more powerful than using only subutex.
'Damn power, man,' said one of them.
After buying the pills, junkies looking for a quick fix take a 10-minute walk to a quiet park nearby.
Ron, an ex-heroin addict and former subutex abuser, took The New Paper on Sunday to the junkies' favourite hang-out spot.
The 'park' was actually a small open area near the Jurong Park connector off Boon Lay Way.
The park connector is a small pavement that cuts through factories on one side and a small forested area on the other.
A storm drain, Sungei Lanchar, runs parallel to the park connector.
No-one was there when we visited the park at 3pm.
Ron said: 'After buying their pills, the addicts buy hot water from coffee shops nearby.
'They already have insulin syringes with them or they buy from each other. Syringes are called 'pens' by them.
'Then, they go to the park and prepare the mixture and inject themselves.'
The bench was the only rest area there. Not many people go there as there were no facilities like a fitness corner.
In front of the bench was a small grass patch littered with several used insulin syringes, styrofoam cups and opened aluminium sachets of dormicum and subutex pills.
'The styrofoam cups are used to contain the hot water bought from the coffee shops,' Ron said.
Behind the wall, it was much worse.
It was more heavily littered than the grass patch in front.
Syringes, styrofoam cups and used pill sachets were strewn all over the place.
Some of the syringes even had blood in them. Anyone who accidentally steps on the exposed needles risks being infected with diseases like hepatitis B.
Also, there were about six beer bottles.
Ron said: 'After injecting themselves with the mixture, some of them drink beer to get even more high.'
He said junkies go to the park in the late afternoon.
'They don't go there at night because without light, they can't see where to inject.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRUG INJECTIONS MAY BE FATAL
IT is ironic that subutex, a drug usually given to heroin addicts to wean them off their addiction, is itself addictive.
The drug helps to reduce heroin withdrawal symptoms such as vomitting, cold chills and diarrhoea.
To reduce dependence on heroin, addicts take smaller and smaller doses of heroin.
HIGHLY-ADDICTIVE
Dormicum is a highly-addictive sleeping pill.
Both drugs are dispensed only by prescription.
It is illegal for anyone under the Poisons Act to sell them without government approval.
The New Paper reported in November 2003 that at least four people might have died from subutex abuse since the drug was introduced here here in 2002 by Schering-Plough, the pharmaceutical company that markets subutex in Singapore.
But the Health Ministry said it was not aware of any deaths from subutex abuse.
Schering-Plough did not want to comment.
Subutex abuse can be fatal if the pills are not fully dissolved in hot water but are injected into the body by users. A doctor said this might result in clots in blood vessels and lead to spasms. In turn, blood supply to vital organs can be cut off, causing stroke or even death.
Doctors usually tell patients on subutex to place the pill under the tongue and allow it to dissolve gradually.
As addicts use syringes to inject themselves with the mixture of dormicum and subutex, they might risk contracting diseases like hepatitis B or even HIV, the virus the causes Aids. |
