[quote] Three relatives of Pope Francis, two infant great nephews and their mother, are dead after their car slammed into the back of a truck in Argentina.
The Pope's nephew, Emanuel Horacio Bergoglio, who was driving the car, is in a serious condition after the accident, officials said.
His children - aged eight months and two years old - were killed in the crash along with their mother, local police commissioner Carina Ferreyra said.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the Pope had been informed about the accident and was "deeply pained".
"He asks all those who share in his pain to join him in prayer," Mr Lombardi added. The family was traveling on a highway in the central province of Cordoba when
their vehicle slammed into the back of a grains truck and burst into flames, police said.

Awwh :c
Who I feel really sorry for is the father of the kids.
You wake up in hospital, confused as fuck, to eventually find out you probably killed your wife and kids.
It's a warning from mafia

It's hard to imagine how you even move past that
That has to be one shit call being a police commissioner calling the vatican
Oh geeze... :\
That's just awful. Hope this won't take Francis off his game too much.

Wouldn't family members contact him? It's not as if the Pope were these people's next of kin.

im sure they have some method to contact him, still its gotta be difficult to get in touch with the pope what with the 18 hour time difference, and the Vatican bureaucracy

Time and a place for bad jokes, matey.
[quote]Mr Bergoglio, who was hospitalised with multiple injuries, is the 38-year-old son of the Pope's late brother Alberto.
Both he and his two-year-old son were pulled from the wreckage alive and taken to hospital some 30 kilometres away, where the child died shortly after being admitted.
"The patient has a guarded prognosis," hospital director Liliana Abraham told Continental radio.
Sergio Arroyo, another hospital official, said Mr Bergoglio was admitted around 1:00am with multiple trauma, an exposed fracture of the right humerus and a liver injury, which was operated on.
"He is breathing with the help of a respirator," Mr Arroyo told reporters.
The driver of the grains truck, Raul Pombo, told local television stations he felt the impact and found Mr Bergoglio's vehicle wedged under the rear of his vehicle.[/quote]
This poor bastard's lucky to be alive with how badly he was injured. Had the compound fracture severed any arteries in his leg, he'd have been dead in minutes.

18 hour time difference? You mean 6 hours.

probably shaking his head in disgust at this post
I wonder what the grieving process is for the Pope.
Wouldn't the man be so confident in his faith, that he would firmly believe that the right thing has come to pass - and that God will give them what they and he deserves?

Modern Catholicism isn't really based around 'everybody getting what they deserve'. He almost certainly sees this as a terrible, personal tragedy, just like anybody else would.
Why "Killed" in the topic's name? They died, nobody caused their death but themselves (Sorta, you can't say that uncle killed them, they died in a car accident)

In terms of life and death combined?
So the car crashed into a truck and then burst into flames? Damn that's really unlucky. :(

It doesn't have the same connotation that the term murder does. You can be killed in an accident, but you can't be murdered in an accident. I assume you aren't a native English speaker, so I think that's where you got confused.

Killed and died can be pretty much synonymous while kill and die can't. English is fickle.

Killed is past progressive while died is simple past tense.
Accidental murder is manslaughter
I skipped over the "3 relatives of" part and thought the pope himself had been killed for a second.
Not that this is really any better. What a tragedy.

Duh, hence the Estonian. However, I'm Russian and in Russian language you are "killed" if the cause of death was by a person, while you "die" from anything else.
For example, you never get killed in a car crash, but you die. You can die from wounds, but a person kills you.
the dumb box elitism, however, made me chuckle :v:
