Un gran hombre ha muerto hoy, el Papa Juan Pablo II. Yo fui criada católica y, aunque ya no me considero católica ahora, tengo un enorme respeto hacia este hombre.
Fue la cabeza de la Iglesia católica durante 26 años y medio, y yo realmente admiro algunas de las cosas que hizo. De entre las que puedo recordar: Pidió disculpas por los pecados de la Iglesia católica, lo que creo era absolutamente necesario. Él, con su carisma y actitud, fue una gran influencia para que la juventud tuviera una relación más cercana con Cristo, a través de la Iglesia católica, sí, pero con Cristo, y como yo lo veo ese es el logro principal. Hizo muchos esfuerzos para tener mayor comunicación otros cristianos y con otros credos, mostrando gran respeto. Sirvió al Señor hasta sus últimos días, hace menos de una semana ni siquiera podía hablar, pero logró expresarnos su bendición cuando celebrábamos la renovación de la promesa que Cristo nos hizo. Sirvió al Señor con amor y alegría, y sufrió también por los horrores de la humanidad. Lo admiro por su fuerza y devoción a lo largo de su vida, y tengo pena de que se haya ido. Creo, en todo caso, que el Señor tenía Sus brazos abiertos para recibirlo, y que de ahora en adelante Karol Wojtyla estará a Su lado.
Puede que compartas o no esto conmigo, sólo te pido que seas respetuos@, no sólo con mis creencias o con los católicos, sino hacia este gran hombre que ha dejado esta vida para entrar en la vida eterna.
A great man has passed away today, the Pope john Paul II. I was brought up a catholic and, though I don’t consider myself a catholic now, I have an enormous respect towards this man.
He was the head of the Catholic Church for 26 and half years, some things he did I really admire. A few I can remember now: He apologized for the sins of Catholic Church, which I think was absolutely necessary. He, with his charisma and attitude, was a big influence on youth to have a stronger relationship with Christ, through Catholic Church, yes, but with Christ, and that’s the main achievement as I see it. He made many efforts to have more communication with other Christians and with other Creeds, showing great respect. He served the Lord until his last days, less than a week ago he couldn’t even talk, but he managed to bless us when we celebrated the renewal of Christ promise to us. He served the Lord with love and joy, and also suffered for the horrors of humanity. I admire him for his strength and devotion throughout his life, and I grieve now that he’s gone. I believe, tho, that the Lord had His arms wide open to receive him, and that Karol Wojtyla will be by His side from now on.
You may or may not share this with me, I just ask u to be respectful, not only with my beliefs or with Catholics, but to this great man who has left this life to enter eternal life.

I have been consistently watching the TV for the last few days and today morning, the amount of people crowded in Rome to ahve a glimpse of the dead man. I'm just overwhelmed. He wouldnt be having such if he was not a great human being.
My respects to him.
