Papa Giovanni Paolo Due

As his soul fades slowly into the utter East we pause for reflection. I lived in Cremona Italy in 1978 when Paolo Sesto passed away. We weren't given much time to get to know Giovanni Paolo Primo. I have come to understand and appreciate Catholics more and more over the years. I am grateful for the amazing example and service of this late great Pope. He may have done more in bringing down the Iron Curtain than Ronald Reagan. He has been a great voice against the encroaching tide of sin and worldliness. His cries from the wilderness and the steadfastness of his leadership as it flowed down to and through his followers have been a great moderating force in the world. I expect his reward beyond the veil will surpass his earthly efforts and accomplishments.
