I always had a certain regard for Pope John Paul II, though I am not Catholic and find some of the Catholic Church's doctrine -- particularly the elevation of Mary -- to be troubling. But John Paul II always struck me as Disciple of Christ first and Catholic second, and to me that struck a chord. There is, I think, a lesson in there for all ... including me ... who seek to create division when what we should all do is fix our eyes on Jesus, first and foremost.
John Paul II now stands before the full Glory of Christ.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!’ (Matthew 25:21, NIV)
