That's all, he's dead. I figured that if any of you came here before watching the news it would be best to see it up front rather than talk about him in another thread not knowing he was gone.

And in 2002 he flew direct from Toronto to Mexico snubbing your President Bush.
The Man had principles ( and standards )

I keep hearing about how great and amazing the Pope was...can someone please explain to me what was so great and amazing about the man because I hardly think visting 3 U.S presidents which no other Pope had done qualifies or maybe my standards are just higher!!!

Apparently telling people in the third world that condoms are the work of the devil and assisting in the spread of aids and the death of many Africans is cause enough for sainthood . . .
(BTW that's irony)
Okay, I'm lost, I'm angry, and I'm
armed.

Quote:Well, you should read up on Pope John Paul II, then. You’ll find him to be a very courageous and principled person who took ethical stands against some of the gravest dangers our world has faced, while tempered with mercy. That alone should award him the accolades he has received on his death bed, but even without that, history will remember him as being one of the men who stood up against communism and was instrumental in its final collapse, at great risk to his own life. But I don’t want to ruin the ending, go to the bookstore or library and ask where the books on Pope John Paul II are. There should be plenty to choose from.
