Wonderful sentiments MBC. I would agree with most of what you said.
I don't consider myself a "non-belliever," I just follow a different path than Christianity and Catholicism. This is not the time or place to air my grievances, so I shall keep to myself for now out of respect.
Two humourous bits: The Pope's plane is called "Shepard One." The other will only make sense if you are a fan of Mel Brooks' movies (particularly "Blazing Saddles" and "History of the World, Part I"), so Not Aclue won't get it. The Catholic commentator being interviewed on a news channel GusGus was watching referred to PJP-II as a "Gifted" Pope.
Rest in Peace Pope John Paul II. And a blessing to the Catholic church for a smooth and successful transition.
