Whole Italy was discussing the news about revealing the note in which pope Benedict XVI was supposed to die in the coming year.

This anonymous, written in German note was had been published by left-wing daily "Il Fatto Quotidiano", one of the largest newspapers in Italy. It was supposedly given to a pope in January by cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyo. As the source for these notes is considered archbishop of Palermo, Paolo Romeo, who was visiting China last year.

The information was contradicted by Vatican as "nonsense", but it didn't disturb to start a real histeriain Italian media. Comentators have been pointing out, that the archbishop of Palermo didn't have a private visit in China, but according to "Il Fatto Quotidiano" his main aim was to represent the Church in the country.


As prince Gorchakov once said: “I don't believe in news that are not officially denied”, that is why we should consider why such an experienced diplomat as archbishop Romeo is, had revealed such information?

Benedict XVI is not the youngest one, he will be 85 this year, but there can be something more behind the information about pope's possible death, maybe they know something about his health? There were some rumors about possible assasination of Benedict XVI, but it seems that if anybody wanted his death, he would be in a hurry.
