Striving Against Opposition

The Passing of the Pope

The Pope John Paul II was a very noble and holy man. In a world that can increasingly be described as nihilistic he has been recognized as a moral giant, and a voice for an objective morality so many people refuse to even believe exists. He lived through the Nazi occupation, and later the communist tyranny that took root in Poland and he opposed dictatorship and oppression where he found. He's a famed world traveler, a philosopher, a prolific writer and a unique individual. I'm not a catholic but the pope was someone that so many outside his own faith respected immensely.

The Globe has the best story on it I've read yet. Find it here.
