Pope John Paul II dies in Vatican Pope John Paul II has died at the age of 84, after becoming one of the longest-serving pontiffs in history. The Pope died at 2137 local time (1937 GMT) on Saturday following a series of worsening health problems including heart failure. Prayers are being said in St Peter's Square, where many thousands of people are gathered to pay tribute. Polish-born Karol Wojtyla became Pope in 1978, taking a conservative stand on issues like abortion and contraception. He was the most widely travelled pontiff and visited more than 120 countries during his 26-year papacy. 'Serene' Pope John Paul II died after suffering from heart and kidney problems and unstable blood pressure. Our Holy Father John Paul has returned to the house of the Father Archbishop Leonardo Sandri Senior Vatican official "The Holy Father died this evening at 2137 in his private apartment," a brief Vatican statement said. Procedures to be carried out in the event of the death of the Pope has been set in motion, it added. His death was immediately announced to the crowds gathered on St Peter's Square, and was met with long applause, an Italian sign of respect. Bells tolled across the city of Rome and many people wept openly. "Our Holy Father John Paul has returned to the house of the Father," senior Vatican official Archbishop Leonardo Sandri said. In the Pope's native Poland, people fell to their knees and wept as the news reached them. Last rites His condition deteriorated suddenly on Thursday night with a high fever caused by an infection of the urinary tract. The infection brought on "septic shock and a cardio-circulatory collapse", the Vatican said in a statement. The Pope then received the Saint Viaticum, a Catholic rite for the sick and dying. Pope's life in pictures The Vatican had announced on Friday that though he was gravely ill he had been conscious, lucid and serene. Millions of Catholics across the world gathered in churches and in the open air to pray for the Pope. The pontiff had been suffering from breathing troubles, exacerbated by the progress of Parkinson's Disease, an incurable condition from which he had been suffering for nearly a decade. He appeared briefly at the window of his Vatican apartment on Easter Sunday to bless the faithful, but was not able to speak. It was the first time during his 26-year pontificate that the Pope had delegated the main Easter ceremonies to his cardinals. He tried again to speak to the faithful a few days later - a sign of his extraordinarily strong will, correspondents say. Fall of communism John Paul's papacy nearly ended in 1981 when he was shot and seriously wounded as he toured St Peter's Square in Rome. After a long period of recovery he visited and forgave the would-be assassin. I... know that it would be equally ridiculous to believe that it was the Pope who brought down communism with his own hands Memory and Identity Written by the Pope John Paul's reign saw radical changes in the world including the collapse of communism and the spread of Aids. Although plagued by ill health throughout the latter part of his papacy he maintained his international schedule and in 2000 made a poignant pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He also made a final, nostalgic return to his homeland in 2002. Born Karol Wojtyla in 1920 near Krakow, Poland, John Paul was an excellent sportsman in his youth.

Это было жарким, летним утром. Он смотрел куда-то в даль и думал о холодной бутылке пива, которую он забыл и уже не помнит где оставил именно. Ему хотелось как можно быстрее уталить дикое желание, но непонятный ужас вдруг... вдруг он проснулся и пощупал мокрую постель. Рядом с ним лежала пролитая бутылка непонятной жидкости красного цвета . Он подумал, что это реакция фенол-фтолеина на кислоту, которая неумолимо капала c постели на кровавый пол. Вокруг бегали белые барашки, щиплющие сочную травку, которая так и росла на земле, которую мирно пахал, вспевая песню "Мой милий Августин" прокуренным голосом Верки Сердючки. Он приподнялся и огляделся вокруг, вдруг он услышал треск в соседней комнате, он понял что это не к добру. Он быстро одел очки и

Pope begins losing consciousness The Pope asked not to return to hospital for treatment Pope John Paul II's condition remains very serious and he has started to show signs of losing consciousness, the Vatican's official spokesman has said. But at a briefing on Saturday morning, Joaquin Navarro-Valls insisted the 84-year-old, who has heart and kidney problems, was not in a coma. Crowds have formed again on St Peter's Square after last night's vigil. The Vatican spokesman said Mass had been celebrated in the presence of the pontiff during the morning. Since dawn this morning there have been first signs that consciousness is being affected Joaquin Navarro-Valls Vatican spokesman "Sometimes it seems as if he were resting with his eyes closed, but when you speak to him, he opens his eyes," he told reporters. However, Mr Navarro-Valls stressed the gravity of the Church leader's condition, noting his "general cardio-respiratory and metabolic conditions" were "substantially unvaried and therefore very grave". "Since dawn this morning there have been first signs that consciousness is being affected," he said. 'About to die' Newspapers in Italy and across the world splashed farewell messages to the Pope on Saturday. Prayers have been offered up for the pontiff worldwide "Long Farewell to the Dying Pope" read a headline in La Repubblica while Il Tempo simply said "Ciao, Karol", using the Polish-born Pope's original first name. All Italian sports competitions, including Serie A football matches, were suspended on Saturday out of respect for the pontiff, the Italian Olympic Committee said. Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, head of the Vatican's health care office, meanwhile told Mexican TV the Pope was "about to die". "I talked to the doctors and they told me there is no more hope," the Mexican cardinal said. Lights burned through the night in the Pope's window as several hundred people, many of them tearful, stayed out in the square, wrapped in blankets to shield them from the cold. Sister Arlete, a nun who attended morning Mass at the Vatican, said that while she felt sadness at the Pope's approaching death there was " happiness that his suffering will end because he's truly suffering". Heading for Rome Having refused to return to the Gemelli hospital where he was treated last month for breathing difficulties, the Pope is being treated in his Vatican apartment by a team of four top consultants and his private doctor, Renato Buzzonetti. May his successor be as principled and as much a force for good as this man has been, but with the ability to adapt his dogma to the realities of a suffering world Rosemary, Copenhagen, Denmark Pope's illness: Your views His condition had deteriorated on Thursday after he developed a urinary tract infection that later brought on "septic shock and a cardio-circulatory collapse", and he received the last rites. Cardinals in the United States and Latin America have indicated they are preparing to travel to Rome. John Paul II's eventual successor will be elected in a secret vote at the Vatican's famed Sistine Chapel by the cardinals - the "princes" of the Christian world's largest Church. Prayers for the Pope have also been offered by other religions: Jews in Jerusalem and Muslims in Indonesia. The Communist authorities in Cuba allowed the Church leader there, Cardinal Jaime Ortega, to make a rare statement on television. "A great man is dying," he said in the six-minute address. "This is a man who has carried the moral weight of the world for 26 years... turning himself into the only moral reference for humanity in recent years of wars and difficulties." Many view the undermining of Communism in Roman Catholic countries of Eastern Europe as one of the Polish pontiff's main achievements.
