Luthien Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 (edited) This man, has done so much for this world. Hes done so much more than be just a religious figure. He has been a standard of moral principle. He played a huge part in ending communism. Hes been steady in his position on the culture of life. Man, Im so grateful to have been born when he is pope. Im sure he's done so much more than I have mentioned, but I just cant think of it right now. All I know is, that I will call him JP the Great from now on. Or Papa. :wub: Edited April 2, 2005 by Luthien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 The children of this generation are truly blessed to have been born under this pontificate. We are seeds in the springtime of the Church and the Holy Father has sown us well. Not one of us is separate from the garden; not one of us identifies ourselves without reference to the others. We have one Church, one faith, and one baptism, one confession, one contemplation, one life. We are the children of John Paul the Great, followers of Christ, the spiritual soldiers of the modern age, the seeds of the new springtime, the fertilizer of future growth, and the blood of coming persecution. We look to our caretaker, who has gathered us together to present us to Christ. He must pass before we can, so that he may be with Christ to present us. He has done well for us, and speaking for the world's youth, Johannes Paule Magne, te amamus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JeffCR07 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Not only that, but I am positive that in time, he will also be given the title of Doctor of the Church. His [i]Theology of the Body[/i] alone is enough to merit that title, and that is most certainly not the extent of what he has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
