Burned at the stake I believe.  That's gotta hurt.

Not shocked not angry but a little confused. I wish I knew what church she went to. The bible is full of soldiers and warriors (and they weren't always the bad guys). David was a soldier when he killed Goliath. I just wonder who has warped her towards something like that.

The bigger question: What happened to France.

I'm with Simo - the popular myth is that a horse was being lowered on to her for sexual purposes but it fell and killed her instead...Wikipedia denies "horse sex death" but not very convincingly....\n\n[From Wikipedia] A common urban myth states that Catherine died as a result of her voracious sexual appetite while attempting sexual intercourse with a stallion - supposedly the harness broke and she was crushed. There is no truth to this fable. This myth is rather common even in modern times and most propagators of it fail to realize (or consciously ignore) that she died at the age of 67.\nThis myth coexists with another, less physically impossible but also totally unsubstantiated myth, that Catherine did engage in a sexual relationship with a stallion, although at a younger age.\n\nBasically it's possible that she did die from a horse falling on her an inoportune time - the fact that she was 67 makes no difference. A pervert is a pervert at any age ;)

I am praying that this will not happen.  Having Paris playing the sainted Mother Teresa will be blasphemous.  How can someone who is so materialistic play someone who helped the poor and the dying in the slums of India. \n\nThis has to be a publicity stunt.

I have read that Mischa Barton is not going to be back, so I think she probably IS dead.  I read that she wants to pursue a movie career.

pretty sure she died of natural causes but can't be sure of what exactly. might have been TB or something like that.i know her family were german-ated but thought she survived? maybe not.

She became a priest (seriously).\n\n\nIn 2003, announced she had fibromyalgia, a illness known for causing incredible fatigue. This was a factor in her retirement from music.

Do you mean Salome? She is the woman who demanded John the Baptists head on a silver platter. Why? We have no idea. She really liked getting head I guess.

The monarchy is larglely symbolic, so what does it matter if she is there or not?  As a matter of historical pride I don't think it would be a good thing to get rid of her.  They still have a democracy so what is the problem?

A king who didn't do anything for his people and who betrayed his country was viewed as useless, so the people of France decided to get rid of the king. He was sent to the guillotine, ending his reign.  The emergency dictatorship of the Committee of Public Safety was then allowed, under the leadership of Robespierre, Marat, and Danton.  These leaders were radical and willing to use power for more than just defense of their country.  Although the country of France was able to get rid of the King, the problems and the revolution continued.  Today, France continues to experience poverty and violent mob behavior.

Thats a good question. She doesn't speak at all with any authority, doesn't get the dry erase boards all nutty  and unintelligable, and really seems to be floundering.\nAll these years (I've channel surfed past Gene since the 70's),\ni wondered who was to be his replacement. She definately is going to run The Cathedral into the ground.\nSorry i dont know the answer, but I hope somebody does.\nThis will be an interesting piece of trivia.

I don't think she was a real person, so I'm going to say that she was painted by Leonardo and then was hung up in a museum for all to see :)

YES!  Her name was Pope Joan, go ahead and look her up.  The Church has tried to bury her in history, to discredit her, but, she DID exist.

Queen Juana I of Castile (1479-1555) is generally known as "Joan the Mad". Despite her nickname, Juana's "madness" has often been disputed; she may have been locked up for political reasons only. Either way, she was a passionate woman, who fell madly in love with her handsome husband and continued to caress him even after his death.\n\nJuana was born on November 6, 1479, as the second daughter of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Their marriage had united Spain. Juana was a fretful, ailing baby that slowly developed into a sullen and timid child. She was prone to moodiness and melancholy and preferred solitude. Her aloofness was often mistaken for royal dignity. Juana was well taught by the famous Italian humanists Antonio and Alessandro Gerardino. She was intelligent, serious, hardworking and pious and she read a lot of books. She conversed fluently in Latin, danced gracefully and played clavichord and guitar. In appearance she resembled her father's mother, the beautiful Juana Enriquez, but in disposition she resembled her mother's mother, the mad Isabel of Portugal.
