I think in reaction JPII said NO photos of dying popes in Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis....
ReplyDeleteInappropriate, but posted here nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why it is inappropriate when the Vatican is full of images of the dying Christ.
ReplyDeleteIt was a betrayal. The doctor wasn't doing his job he was looking to make money off of his atient.
ReplyDeleteHow disgusting that his doctor did this-all for a 'buck' (or 'lira' as it was back then)!
ReplyDeleteHow about giving the ailing Holy Father some dignity and privacy in his last days?
Would this be considered unethical, a betrayal of the doctor-patient relationship?
