I never liked the guy......i'm predisposed to dislike popes as it is....but JP 2 was a terrific force for good and peace around the world, i thought....he was a good example of the capacity for good that the office of pope can have. JP focused on helping children and reaching out to other religions. He never condoned violence of any kind....he met with Bush immediately after 9/11 and asked him not to retaliate violently. He took up positions of peace and forgiveness even in matters where neither were realistically possible....such as 9/11. He even forgave the guy who shot him!
i think that's exactly what the leader of 2+ billions people who purport to support the teachings of Jesus Christ...should do. I hope the catholics elect themselves another JP2.
