A tribute to a phenomenon - A tribute

I am referring to the Pope, yes. He was a great man indeed, and his death has surely saddened millions. At the same time, it was probably a good thing since it relieved him from his painful state of illness. Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla, was the first non-Italian Pope to claim Papacy since the 15th century. He was a kind, generous, and a noble man. He was a man of peace, and rigorously opposed to all violent ideologies and promoted and greatly helped interfaith relations.

He wanted see the Catholic faith evolve in to a prominent religion in the world, without introducing major modifications in the faith, which would prompt an outcry from the more conservative followers. He preached love and coexistence, and was a moral human, something the "left wing" people would never understand. He will forever be remembered as a pious and revolutionary man who left his mark in the hearts and minds of millions or across the globe, and rest assured, it won't be just the Catholics.
