Pope John Paul is God

Since the tragedy of Pope John Paul’s death, people from all over the world have mourned. It was a tragedy to hear the news, for the pope was a person who almost everyone liked. Even though all Catholics believe in God, the pope was like earthly God image. He was the father of all and the one who took care of his people. He was the head of the church and everyone followed him like he was their father. For his funeral over four million are expected to be there (http://news.bostonherald.com/international/view.bg ?articleid=76860&format=). This shows us how people around the world have such a high respect for him and follow him. He is loved and respected by so many and is missed greatly. “Because of everything John Paul did for us, any amount of waiting is fine," said Julie Krommer, 23, a mechanical engineer who arrived in Rome at 3 a.m. local time today, as the waiting times to see the pope's body stretched to 10 or 12 hours or more” (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/06/international/worldspecial2/06cndpope.html?hp&ex=1112846400&en=5b444ad528dec860&ei=5094&partner=homepage). Despite the fact that John Paul has moved onto heaven, people will always remember him as their father, and image of God.

  • I'm amazed by the amount of media coverage. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given that John Paul II was one of the most recognized, high profile, and "important" figures over the past 25 years.

    From CNN: Web flooded with pope coverage and
    from something called the Global Language Monitor. They indicate that for the first four days since the Pontiff’s death, there have been some 75,000 major news stories and more than 10 million Internet citations.
