the power of the cross shook the foundations of the soviet union and within ten years the berlin wall was torn down

our generation is blessed for having a great leader in john paul ii

[MusicalFan1701]

I was at this mass - at age 10!

Anyone know where I can get the entire mass on video, especially the music soundtrack?

[SillyGrandpa]

I missed seeing JPII in Chicago in 1979 by a few hours as I was returning from a European vacation. I was arriving at O'Hare airport as he was leaving .

[SuriWurri]

Generation JP II we miss you!!!!

[CarlisleCockney1]

It is so lovely to hear Papa speak in English.

[3C3D3S3]

Absurd The pope is no Antichrist. Outrageous.

[job1201204]

I love John Paul ll, and I miss him so much. I really love being catholic, we have a global church, our own nation, and an army, the swiss guard. God sure has taken care of us, even if we have screwed up sometimes. God bless everyone.

[RussianPeace1]

I am a Russian convert to Catholicism and I am proud!

[romanempiresucks]

um I made that comment 9 months ago now it has no context bye comment *removes comment* but as for you conversion to denomination I wish you well but you should know 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints" God didnt start denominations satan did and your helping him split the church....

[BidwellSzFynest]

john paul the second the great leader for the world humanity we will never forget you and you will be remember has the pope for all people

[kuhleskind]

He was such a good person. It was his life, mission- him that inspired me to come to Christ and become catholic. I adore him.

[hjaeko]

ok, well now, im here to tell you, that devoting yourself to somebody you have never met, neither shared any recollected experience with, is wrong, and not nessacary for your soul to evolve, or become better.

to beleive things, when not formally experienced, or felt, through your common perception is unhealthy, for your senses, and religion, is an ancient yet still used form of control, in a latent passive manner.

im not saying john paul is bad, so dont misread, what im saying.

[johnnyjohnson]

What year is this?

[kuhleskind]

1979....

[mishamode]

I miss him so much I wish every person in the world could love like he did

[BadGirlBabyJ]

=(

[irishcatholicgirlie]

I miss him so much

[bratrat]

I believe he spoke at least 5 different languages; his English was quite good. What a wonderful man-RIP, Holy Father

[Qniasty]

@bratrat He spoke more than 10 languages.

[bratrat]

@Qniasty

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't sure; that's still a LOT of languages....wow!

[Qniasty]

@bratrat My pleasure :)

[Qniasty]

@bratrat All the languages i gave founded he could speak fluenly: Polish (obviously), Greek, Italian, Russian, Spanish, English, French, German, Latin, Portuguese, Slovak, Ukrainian.

[bratrat]

@Qniasty

Amazing! I knew a few of them, but I wasn't sure about the rest. He once joked that he felt he was a walking United Nations...lol!

[RockyBalboa211]

God bless you for putting something so nice up, Thank you!! We shall all remember the greatness of this man.

[szymonm81]

Pope John Paul II was the greatest Catholic leader who connected religions and people. He was not afraid to apologize for all the wrong catholics have done in the past. He was also a huge part responsible for defeating communism (spiritually and financially) in Poland, which encouraged other european countries to fight against communism (Soviet Union).

[vertnj]
