For those who are Catholic, I am sorry at the loss of the leader of your church today. There were many things I admired about Pope John Paul II: his dedication, hard work, and the common touch he had that made him so endearing. In the end, though I did not agree with many of his opinions and some of the actions he took (or did not take), I can respect him as a man who was fearless in the face of adversity, and had earned the love of many.
