Remembering Pope John Paul II
(Filed under: Faith)
"Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song." -Pope John Paul II, 1920-2005
I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about Pope John Paul II. Growing up Baptist we never paid much attention to the head of the Catholic church. But the more I learn about him the more impressed I become. I especially loved hearing about his continued stance on the sanctity of human life, be it issues like abortion or war.
I know some Protestants have disagreements with the position of the Pope, but I would hope in light of his death that we could look past those disagreements and learn from his life. CNN and just about every other news source have extensive biographies. If, like me, you don't know much about the Pope, I'd encourage you to check them out.
