Valdar and Astralis Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Just briefly- I'm sure most of you already heard this. At 19:37 GMT, Pope John Paul II passed away after a long and faithful service to the church aged 84. It's a sad day for many, yet tinged with gladness that his suffering was not overly prolonged. Karol Jozef Wojtyla without doubt touched the hearts of many with his message of peace and reconcilation. Personally, I feel this was his most significant achievement, even so far as to forgive the man who tried to assasinate him. May his reward be great in heaven.
Degenero Angelus Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Indeed a sad day, even for those of us without faith. He was a good man, and any loss of life is sad.
