Death of a Pontiff

Topic: Religion

I woke up in the middle of the night and witnesseed something the world has never seen. The religious and political leaders of this world together for the funeral of His Holiness John Paul II. What other man could of brought those masses of the mighty and the average? His Holiness and Mother Theresa has shown what one person armed with belief can do to change this world. The 20th century will be remembered by some as the age of revolution and social/cultural change in the personification of Hitler, Stalin, Einstein, etc. I see it as the age of Gandhi, Marting King, Desmont Tutu, the Dali Lama, and of course JOhn Paul II. I've never been a big believer of the eucemenical movement, since it dilutes the idea of absolute truth, but witnessing the funeral has given me a greater appreciation of what it could do.
