He sounds like a decent everyday fellow struggling with the same things that any good man strugles with and enjoying what the normal guy enjoys. A good guy, but not exactly a spiritual leader.

As world religious leaders go I think I will stick with John Paul II. He also is celibate and likes to shoot, but he also fought both the Nazis and the communists, with Reagan and Thatcher led the victory over the Soviets in the cold war, writes powerful theological treatments on the Gospel and serves Christ, God the Son.

All that, and he wears a spiffy hat, too! :)

I'm not in the business of rating religious leaders. I'm not going to "stick with" either one.
