I am by no means Catholic; however, that does not mean my heart does not go out for his loss. I admired the Pope for his consistancy. Amid such drastic changes in the world which we live; to be such a staunch ultra conservitive and remain firm to so many "anti-s" in a world that's become so "pro" anything, well, that's amazing courage.
He praised peace, and was a champion for the poor. He was even against many of the staunchly moralistic spoutings of our present President W. I remember 1978 when he became John Paul II, and I'll remember where I was when I heard his died; and I'll remember the many changes I've gone through and remember a man who stood his ground. Wonder how much ground we've given up, where he contiuned to remain firm?
Blessings to such an example of moral consistancy!
Thank you for taking the time to visit; enjoy the posts...
Likewise Im no Catholic, but I think the Pope was a man worth admiring. The true character of a man is known amidst conflict n confusion n he proved himself the true measure of a man. He was gentle yet firm in his beliefs. Furthermore, he showed tolerance for all ppl irrespective of race, colour, creed. He was truly a leader, who will be immensedly missed esp since this world needs leaders like him who can uphold the concept of humanity. May God bless his soul. Amen.
