Thank you John Paul II for all you have given the world. Your values and love transcended religious labels. You had a beautiful loving smile and you were as tough as nails. John Paul, you were as brave as a lion and as gentle as a lamb. We loved you because you were the real thing and you loved us.

Its healthy to praise, respect and remember the good in this world. Mostly we just curse the bad. If we were discussing the particulars of Catholicism, I can see someone objecting. That is a lose-lose situation . Recognizing the good in the world and being thankful for it is a win-win situation. I'm glad we have something good to focus on. I would feel this way if John Paul were Jewish, protestant, Moslem or whatever. This thread will soon pass and those who object to it can happily go back to wallowing in their darkness.

Yup!
If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

Are there any railways running through Vatican City?[:D][:D][:D][;)][angel][%-)]

Just modeling the structures (with complete interior detail of course) would be monumental![(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][^]
