First, I�m from Spain and I want to ask: How do you say PaPA in english?, I mean the grand father of the Church. The head of the Catolicism Church.

This person have just dead, and I want to know if in other countries the new is very important or not. Because in Spain is the most important new in two days. All TV, radio programs are about PAPA.

Do you think that this new is very very important?

I don't know,

I understand that we always feel sad when a life ends. However, Leaders not from not only catholicism but also from other religions have a life style full of richness.. No matter which your religion is. It is a fact well known for every body that the luxuries they have are absurd .. Is it fair that The vatican place is full of luxuries ( gold, etc) meanwhile many poor people all over the world are trying to survive ( getting something to eat)? They do not even have .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 % of the richess leaders have.
Is this what the bible says ? I haven't read the bible very much ..Please tell me where I can find that part. A part that says that religious leaders should live with all the facilities in life ( luxury, richness) , meanwhile people who belive in god ( same as them) die because they don't even have something to eat.

Excuseme, Alvaro,

I have only one question for you:

Are you joking when you tell that is all faith and love? or you tell seriusly?
