Pope John Paul II has suffered a heart attack, on top the the urinary tract infection, Parkinsons Disease and having to cope with a tube in his throat to assist his breathing after a recent operation.  His condition is said to be 'very grave'.  He is being closely monitored but he is still lucid, tranquil and conscious.

The Pope is being care for by his personal doctor Renato Buzzonetti and other specialists.
