I was checking the tv, radio and internet pretty furiously over the weekend for news on il Papa. I saw him in an auditorium in Rome in 1988 and he looked tired then so it was amazing that he hung on for another 17 years.
He was the most influential pope since Paul III and was a true Renaissance pope in the tradition of Julius II. Tough shoes of the fisherman to fill.
JP2, we loved you. May perpetual light shine upon you, may you rest in peace. Amen.
