Thank you for opening this thread again, its a shame how a thread commemorating this great and remarkable man deteriorated into a flamefest. And he was indeed a great, intelligent, man. A pope that has been able to reach out and touch the hearts of not only his own believers, but also the hearts of atheists and jews and basically everybody. We can safely say that he started a new era in the history of the church namely one of actual tollerance and we must hope and pray that this era continues.
