´Pope John Paul II was one of the most beloved men/icons of our time´ -- Wrongo!


I find what you have stated interesting because that would make him, according to New Testament scripture, the complete opposite of the Biblical Jesus, both in his own time, and in this time.

===============================================
You´re really a pill, you know that? And I can see that you haven´t done your homework on this one. Why can´t you just give the man credit for what he´s done worldwide? Just because he was so beloved doesn´t mean that he was ´opposite to the Biblical Jesus´, in your words. This man had a great love for EVERYONE, and truly acted in a Christlike manner, and was therefore truly beloved by all men/women/races. He did not proclaim himself a Jesus, but he was, in fact, THE POPE, THE HOLY SEE, which is descriptive of the representative of Jesus the Christ on Earth. More, the fact that he himself visited his would-be killer in jail and PARDONED the very man who tried to kill him says VOLUMES about him.

To me he epitomizes what TRUE LOVE FOR HIS BRETHERN, a truly CHRISTLIKE principle is and should be, and THAT is why he was so honored, loved, and grieved at his funeral. Many heads of the state WORLD OVER attended his funeral, and there were even Islamic religious leaders there, as well as Africans, Latinas, Polish, Americans ... EVERYONE. And let´s not forget how he helped to bring solidarity to Poland and to bring Russia into accord, and how he sought to unite all mankind together, IN PEACE. You jealous???

JOHN PAUL II ROCKS!
SO Get a grip!
SHEESH!
