Just a quick thanks to all the non-Catholics and especially the non-Christians who have offered prayers and sympathy for the late John Paul II. The Church was and is greatly saddened by his passing and though Benedict XVI is also a great man, there was an ineffable quality about John Paul II that will never be reproduced. I was blessed to see him, though not to meet him, at World Youth Day in 2002 and even separated by huge crowds I felt his charisma and overwhelming love for God and for the world, especially the young people of the world and those who are defenceless. He was a matchless leader and a saintly man. May God rest his soul.
Santo subito - hear hear.
