I was at work today and a Catholic co-worker left a card of John Paul the second on his desk. It was brand new with his birthdate, the date he became a priest, the day he became a cardinal, the Pope and the day he died. They passed the card between themselves in rememberance today. The same co-workers who are catholic (maybe 25 % of them) have talked about him everyday since the day it was announced he was seriously ill. On the televsion set I heard catholics yelling in spanish "instant sainthood! instant sainthood! " (the tv translated it for the viewers). He seems to have had a profound impact on the Catholics of today. For the catholics and others on here...what was he to you? What made this man the hero he comes across to be and what will you remember about his time on earth?
