<p>The Vatican has just announced his holiness has passed away. Although a Protestant, I am deep in grief for his passing. He was a great man, and an extraordinary figure for the Catholic church.</p>
<p>May the Lord be with his soul and us as we mourn the passing of "the Great Communicator."</p>
<p>A moment of silence, if you will.</p>
<p>Rest in peace, Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II. You will assuredly be missed, although I am happy that you will finally be in the presence of the one who you dedicated your life to.</p>
<p>Pope John Paul II was not only an extraordinary figure for the Roman Catholic Church, but also a saviour for all of mankind. He has returned home. Amen.</p>
<p>Amen, rest in peace.</p>
<p>Rest in Peach Holy Father.</p>
<p>The world has lost a extraordinary, remarkable, and amazing man today</p>
<p>You will be dearly missed.</p>
<p>Even as an atheist, I actually did worry over his death. RIP John Paul II.</p>

There's a picture slide show on his life. He forgave his would-be assasin on page 7. What a nice guy eh?</p>
<p>Wow... I'm not really a religious person, however I will agree that a great man has died. That picture with his would-be assasin is incredable. I could not imagin forgiving the man that tired to kill me.</p>
<p>Our beloved pope has died, but his legacy is one that won't die with his body. It will, I hope, imbue all humans with a sense of duty - a duty to live their lives to serve others. That is the only thing life is worth living for - for the sake of others. I hope the Servant of the Servants of God rests in peace.</p>
