he did a hell of a lot for things i believe in while he was in charge, lets hope the next guy has as much humility.. scary times!
I only saw last night some of the things he did before he had parkinsons, he looked a completely different person. RIP.
Doesn't he look totally different there? The BBC showed some footage and I think he was younger than in that photo, but I never really did know what he'd done.
I'm not particularly glad that he's dead but I'm certainly not bothered either. I find it hard to have any respect for him considering some of his views and the things that he advocated/enforced. People die every day and I don't bat an eyelid, I certainly didn't care much for him when he was alive so I sure as fuck don't now.
The pope did do a lot of good things, but his views on contraception were ridiculous in this HIV era.
