He's gone, and my eulogy

[JohnKleeb]

RIP John Paul II or Karol Wojitya.
You were a good man, we did not agree on gays, birth control, or abortion but I respect and like you for what you did on poverty, soliditary, the death penalty, etc. You were a smart man with many gifts, you wrote plays, you fought nazi tyranny in Poland. You gave us non-Italian Catholics hope that one of ours can be pope too. Your ability to forgive was extrodinaary, anyone who can forgive a man who tries to kill you, is one hell of a man. You apologized for the silence of the church during the holocaust. You visited the wailing wall in Jeruasalem. You tried to heal the milenia long rifts between us and the eastern orthodox. You were the only pope I knew. Rest in peace good father and meet your creator, now you are one for the ages.
