In paradisum deducant Angeli,
in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctum Jerusalem.

Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere aeternam habeas requiem.

A verse from my favorite hymn, somehow appropriate now.

O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

I am not Catholic and I did not agree with all of the beliefs he espoused, but Pope John Paul II was a man of peace and Love, and he deserves respect. I am deeply sorrowful of his passing and share the grief of the Polish people, and of Catholics around the world.

He will indeed be missed. He was a very good man.

Whatever your religious beliefs, I suspect most everyone will agree that he was a good man who was much loved. He will be missed.


On that note, I'll remind everyone that this is not "Outside". Please refrain from pointlessly controversial and/or combative statements. I've just spent several minutes deleting posts, and I don't want to do it any more.

It would be a shame if a thread that starts it's title with "RIP" had to be locked because of the inappropriate behavior of a few.

Pope John Paul II died Saturday night, a Vatican spokesman said. He was 84. In St. Peter's Square the faithful prayed and cried but also applauded the pope's life. In Krakow, Poland, thousands gathered to pray for the man credited with helping to topple communism. "We will always remember the humble, wise and fearless priest who became one of history's great moral leaders," President Bush said.

Well I am quite sad by the news. At least he doesn't have to go throught the pain he does everyday anymore.

He was a great and widely respected man (also by non-catholics as myself.)

A guardian of human rights and peace have passed away. May John Paul II rest in peace.
