      RIP JPII.

      I only wish he had been able to make it back to Ireland before he passed away; I wasn't even born when he came to Ireland in 1979, where he did his best to deal with the Troubles in the North.

      Even as a Catholic myself, I didn't always agree with his stance on several issues, but I wish I could have just 1/10th of that man's faith.

                    He achieved some positive political and peacekeeping results in his life.

                        If he had done nothing else, his succesful efforts to stave off bloodshed during the solidarity movement (and a lot more serious **** was happening than was public knowledge at the time) would have marked him as the great leader that he was.

                              A man of tremendous character, who lived an amazing life.


                              And yes, one who played an important role in the advance of Catholic-Jewish understanding.

                                I paid my respects in the other thread before this was posted. But I'll to it in here.

                                It's inarguable that JP2 was a man of deep conviction and constant character. He followed what he really believed to be the truth, and he did it without wavering. That's a trait that's hard to not find impressive.

                                I disagree with much of his orthodox doctrines, and I do think some of his stances have inadvertantly harmed people. But he was without malice in all that he did, and was a credit to every person of religious faith. The good outweighed the bad, as demonstrated by the outpouring of genuine feeling for this man now around the world.
