William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

Old popes never die, they just return to the world as blazing demons:

“Is this Pope John Paul II waving from beyond the grave? Vatican TV director says yes”

This fiery figure is being hailed as Pope John Paul II making an appearance beyond the grave.

The image, said by believers to show the Holy Father with his right hand raised in blessing, was spotted during a ceremony in Poland to mark the second anniversary of his death.

Details appeared on the Vatican News Service, a TV station in Rome which specialises in religious news broadcasts.

Service director Jarek Cielecki, a Polish priest and close friend of John Paul II, travelled to Poland after hearing an onlooker had photographed the image.

Father Cielecki said he was convinced the picture showed the former pontiff.

“You can see the image of a person in the flames and I think it is the servant of God, Pope John Paul II,” he said.

So remember kids, lead a good life and tithe to the Catholic Church, or a fiery Pope John Paul II will emerge from a bonfire and burn you to a crisp. Now go say five “Our Fathers” and 20 “Hail Marys” just to be on the safe side.
