BTW, I miss JPII as well. He became Pope when I was 14. When someone says Pope, he’s the visual I get. Can’t help it.

defconw, no need to apologize for someone you support. I'm 73, and I've seen many Popes come and go. It is the first time in my life that I recognized a great man when Pope John Paul became Pope. If you haven't read anything about his life, I truly urge you to do so. Pope John Paul was one of a kind. I pray to him daily to help us in our need, as these are dark times for us all and our country, and for religion and the love of God.
