Weird quote from "Vatican Governor" on CBS news
"everything will be done to keep the Pope alive but when he dies it will be a natural death"...

Does this sound as oxymoronic to anybody else as it does to me?

1. I suspect his grasp of the nuances of English may be...

2. Maybe, but I don't see a lot of room for nuance there...

The concept of "doing nothing" being equivalent of "natural" seems pretty straightforward. I don't speak Italian very well but there's nothing all that arcane in a reasonably liter translation...
Just thought it was weird...

edit: forgot my own advice: Always make sure you didn't any words out.
