John Paul II
Mostly Cajun has a
really nice Obituary of Pope John Paul II who passed today. An excerpt:
...Seems like the 70’s and 80’s were Poland’s decade. John Paul’s ascension to the papacy showed the world that there were indeed huge holes in the Communist Bloc in that such a man of faith could come out of the stench that the Soviets had made of central Europe.
So Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II, and Lech Walesa, shipyard electrician, both put faces on the faith that did NOT die behind the Iron Curtain, and the curtain fell, darkness fleeing from light.
