~The passing of yet another great man...~
The world goes on as catholics all over observe moments of silence for the passing of their religious leader...
Thousands are gathered in Rome just outside the home of Pope John Paul II. Keeping vigil for him...I wish I could go there and witness it all...
I was watching news and they mention how all catholics will feel the pain. They mention that he will be greatly missed as he was most outgoing pope...always mingling with the "common" pple...and traveling to meet with other religious personnels.
They say everyone just want to have a piece of him, to get to know him and be friends with him. Somehow I find it true...being a catholic, I somehow feel close to him even though I do not know him, I do feel that I know him...
I guess that's the catholic in me working up...although I know I'm a lousy catholic in many ways...yes...I admit...I have even stopped going to church for the past few yrs...I'm still proud to say that I'm a Catholic, a Roman Catholic.
