After his health deteriorated last evening and continued to do so during the last night, pope John Paul II is most likely now living his last days, if not his last hours. He is in a stable, but grave condition and seems to have accepted his fate, as he wants to remain in his apartment in Vatican, and not to be transferred in a hospital.

His legacy will be mixed, as he did and achieved good things during his pontificate, but he did also wrong decisions - mainly because of his conservative views - and so caused also bad things to happen.
