I read an article in the paper today about Pope John Paul II’s visit to Canada. Let me just state for the record that there are few men I admire more than Pope J.P. This is a man who has led the world’s largest organized religion through some of the most turbulent times of the 20th century; a man who ardently worked to bring down Communism; a man who has sought reconciliation with other Christian groups; a man who sought greater communication and cooperation with other faiths and yet still shunned pluralism while supporting the integrity and truth of his own faith; a man who exhibits some of the finest moral points of Christianity. In short, there’s a lot to like there.
