My Prayers are with him

Ailing Pope Taken to Rome Hospital

But for all of my adult life, he has been my Pope.  And he has been a moral compass to millions of Catholics in a very secular world.  I know he is not well, but I hope he pulls through.  his work is beyond reproach.  And he did as much for eastern Europe as did Reagan.  They were destined to work together, and yet at odds, but to the same goal.

Freedom.

Let all who value it pray for this man.  For no sane man can doubt his sincerity or motives, just his positions on controversial issues.

During World War 2 His Holiness was a monsignor in Krackow, Poland. He was part of an underground movement which smuggled orphaned Jewish children to safety. He personally saved hundreds of them. Being the humble man that he is he never publicised this, but he was given praise when he visited the Holy Land a few years ago.
God Bless him, a true Christian and a wonderful human being.

Thank you Mano.  While they down play his illness, we have seen these flus become very deadly, and he was not in the best of health before that.

I know the Catholic Church is guilty of many sins in the past, but I also am very pleased that Pope John Paul II has reached out to those affected by the sins and tried to atone for them.  I dont agree with all of his edicts, but I do not question his intentions.

Doc... I find it very strange that me a Jew was the only one to reply to your post. Are we the only two that wish his Holiness well?

I surely hope not!  But your response is proof that you do not have to believe the creed of other people to respect good men and women.  Thanks again.

Nor do I MM.  But I do not doubt his goodness, and I take it neither do you or Mano.  We can disagree with methods, even if we agree with ends.

Thank you both.  Mano and Mod represent the best of mankind.

Lurking reader has been chastised into making her hopes for the pope's recovery to be written down.

I agree with what all of you said of the pope.

Hmmm... not eloquent, but the intention is there.

In this case, it truly is the thought that counts.  Thank you.
