Tribute to Pope John Paul II

A great man has gone to his reward.

Pope John Paul II was a rarity; a man truly worthy of his position. Though I am not Roman Catholic, and do not speak as a Catholic, I admired Pope John Paul II for his tireless and gracious efforts to champion the ageless tenets of Christianity. He did not capitulate to the times. He was an exemplary leader in this regard.

Pope John Paul II was also someone who did not retreat from life, or ill health, or death. He handled them all with generosity and dignity. Right up to the end, he continued to carry out his duties as he was able, rather than seclude himself from the public. What a model for us all.

Soli Deo Gloria.
