May He Rest In Peace!!!
I just heard this and looked it up on-line at some noteable Catholic web-sites and Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II has passed away. 
A Great Man was he, loved by many, and admired by even the most notable world leaders who weren't exactly friends of the Catholic Church.
A very sad day this is indeed -a cloud of grief hangs over the Faithful, but the Hope he bestowed on us shines through forever strong.

I think Pope John Paul II is one of those leaders that will be very hard to follow. I don't hink that whoever succeeds him will be able to demonstrate the same strength that he showed in holding the Church together through the controversies of the past two decades.

I agree. With all the controversy the Catholic Church has been through,Pope John Paul ll did a remarkable job keeping the church unified.
Rest in Peace Papa Juan Pablo.
