The Blessed's Jewish friends in the drama society (when he was a student-actor in what was known as the Rhapsodic Theatre) called him Lolek, which is short for Karol. Now that people are calling him "Blessed John Paul the Great," those who remmeber the old days call him "Lolek the Mensch."
Personally, I like that very much.

To me, Pope John Paul II will alway be a part of the greatest earthly triumverate that ever lived....the Pope, President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher.
Together, they took on the most powerful and aggressive foe that freedom ever faced....and beat it down!

Where do Pius IX and Pius XII stand at this point? Converstions about their canonizations seem to have stopped completely; I’d think they’d be at least as much a priority as JPII.
