Pope John Paul II WAS the man I most admired. He was truly a holy man, a good man who suffered at the hands of the Nazi's in Poland during WWII, along with his father, and friends. Throughout his life, he strived to do good, to be true to the Lord and his fellow man. You could see the warmth, the love in his face and his manner and in his speech. He was very special. Miss him greatly. He was the best Pope.

RE Pope John Paul II:

I remember a time when a President, a Pope, and a Prime Minister teamed up to fight an Evil Empire... and won.

That kind of clarity is what is missing in this Pope.

Pope John Paul II was an amazing man, and I miss him on the same order as I miss Reagan.

For the record, I was raised RC, 12 years of Catholic schooling. I am not impressed with this current guy. Calling Muzz brothers is ridiculous.

Norm, your comment “His predecessors sent vast armies to deal with his ‘brothers the last time they decided it was open season in the Cross. This idiot embraces them.” is spot-on.
