Pope John Paul II was a phenomenal man. I was unaware of this. I do remember reading some of his thoughts on the significant issues of the day, and recall that they were spoken with an eye towards unchanging truths, not the hot topics of the day. His framing of “the Culture of Death” was cogent and seminal. A most impressive man. I miss him and his counsel.
And I am a Protestant.
Drinan was my Congressman and he had the liberal arrogance of most Jesuits.
Barney Frank moved to the district and was elected in his place. A carpetbagger.
