World Mourns Death of Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II, Pope from 1978 - 2005
The world mourns the passing of the Pope John Paul II. He will be remembered by billions of people all over the world, Catholic, Christians from other denominations, and from the other religions of the world...
In his pontificate he travelled to all parts of the world to support the worlds poor and oppressed. He upheld the traditional teachings of the church and beliefs. He helped inspire the people of his home land of Poland and other communist bloc Countries to campaign to the eventual establishment of democracy. In his later years in spite of his ill health his faith was never diluted. He remained commited to the Catholic ideas and the teachings of the gospel. Though he suffered he is now at peace in heaven.
Rest in Peace.
