I am not Catholic, but I think that JP2 was a great man. I was especially moved when the announcer in this video said that he carried one of the survivors when she was a little girl to the train station, so that she could get help.

dzienkuje bardzo, Father.

I'm forever grateful for the wonderful Pope John Paul.

@xneondropsx I also think that he was a great man - I only wish he had taken a different and more liberal attitude towards Latin America and perhaps a more intelligent standpoint on AIDS!

The Vatican made a statement following this woman's claim that His Holiness did not recall carrying the particular woman, although it 'would not be out of character' for him to have done so.

Ironic considering the RCC was in support of the Nazi movement.

@angelmarine1292 Perhaps you should study your history ....not all Catholics share your love for the Jews...quite to the contrary and for centuries Jews suffered injustices, atrocities and murder in Catholic lands .

Many Jews who escaped from Spain went to MUSLIM lands were they were welcome and treated with much respect. Some Muslims TODAY might hate Jews because the Zionists invaded Palestine and displaced the people in their own land. Please get your facts right.

A man of tolerance and kindness, unlike the criminal church he represented.
