Re: Pope John Paul II Dies at 84
A great man that deserves his place in history. I am catholic, though not a devout one, didn't always agree with everything the Pope did, but he did a lot a great things for many people.
Anyone remember that last time we changed Popes? The one before John Paul was Pope for a month, then died, so we had two Popes in one month. I was in first or second grade and just remember going to church quite a bit back then. Since Pope John Paul was Pope since I was a little kid, anytime someone says the "Pope", I can only see John Paul's picture. It will be strange to see someone else on the news.
