The Vatican

I read Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the pope's Vicar for Rome's comment on Times of India article "Pope serious, given Last Rites". He said "I prayed with him only for a moment which moved me profoundly. The pope is completely abandoned to the will of God."

Surprising that this comment came from the Vatican. I'm sure all the major religions of the world believe that everything is in the hands of God. So whatever is happening is His wish and we are not the ones who can control it.

That said: May he rest in peace.

why is it surprising that this comment comes from the Vatican? The Vatican is the most imposing religious figure in the world, don't you think so?

My point was, that the Vatican is the top most level of the Roman Catholic religion. And a comment like that from them is surprising. Doesn't the "The pope is completely abandoned to the will of God." indicate that before the comment was made, the Pope wasn't "completely" under the will of God. Even when he was hospitalized I would say it was still God's will!
