the Pope

has it been oversaid? this pope was a great guy. I liked him so much, I could have almost become roman catholic. But all of that aside, he was a wonderful Christian. He truly sought to live out his faith with great joy and obedience to Christ. He understood the seamless life between right thinking about your faith, and right living of your faith out in all areas. He was against facism, communism, poverty, but loved everyone, regardless of which side of the "issue" they fell on. I wish more Christians were like him. I would like my faith to influence me as deeply as his led him onward to Christ Jesus. Can you imagine what the Church would be like if everyone, protestant, pentecostal, and catholic, actually sought to live as faithful a life as John Paul II did? Hmmmmmm...
