Title: John Paul II -- disturbing facial expression
Post by: Ladislaus on April 30, 2014, 06:11:10 PM

This is a video put out by the Dimonds.  I'm not really interested in the substance of it.  But have a look from about 4:05 to about 4:15 into the video.

John Paul II's face morphs and contorts into an expression that looks downright diabolical.  It's almost like he became possessed.  It's scary.

Does anyone else find this as disturbing as I do?  I don't think that it's just random contortions due to Parkinson's.

And obviously Benedict XVI has taken some pictures where he looks almost evil.  Same thing with Paul VI.

That is strange and disturbing, but I think the pictures where Benedict looks evil are more disturbing. I would post some of them if I had them but I don't.

Yes, Benedict can look downright terrifying with an almost evil look in his eye.  We have to be careful on those, since there are many PhotoShopped versions that make him look even worse.

I watched that clip you mentioned, it was certainly very odd, I don't know what to make of it.  I am familiar with Parkinsons disease,  I know a few people with it.  I have never seen one suffering from the disease make a face like that.

Looks like the smile of a degenerate child molester.
