John Paul knew this, but a lot of the "faithful" still don't get it, as is obvious from this thread.
FWIW, I agree with every word written by Siemon-Netto.
Some photographers have captured that 'twinkle' in John Paul's eyes. I 've seen that twinkle in other very spiritual folks, hence this Protestant admires JP II. He was always very modest about his role in the collapse of the USSR, but time will tell.
