Just because of your beliefs you can't dismiss other religious leaders, that's just for catholics really

he was in the polish resistance- which means he was resisting nazi rule in poland and saving jews from ghettos. iraqi's are fighting because they are revolting against US and British Troops, they want freedom. and then of course theres always palestine and the saddam hussain factor- though that has now diminished with his demise..

That picture is just wrong you know he was one of the greatst men alive and your trying to diss him in that way you aught to be ashamed of your acttions because he was and exelent leader and probably the greatest pope moder pope ever

Wow, talk about oversimplifying to a rediculous extent. Do you have any idea how complicated the situation in the middle east is? It goes back to centuries and centuries of conflict and hate. How could you possibly expect one man to be able to solve the problem. The fact that he even made a tiny scratch on the surface of them problem is a huge testimony to how much he accomplished in life. On a side note, I'm not remotely religious, at all, so don't think that I'm writing this because I feel obligated to defend him from a religious standpoint. I do however follow the situation in the middle east, and not only the present situation, but the history of the conflict and the major events from the past few decades. Judging by your post, you barely have even the slightest idea of how complex the problem really is.

i want to see a black pope. that would be a bold statement. 60% of catholics arent white, american or european. of the three, well favourites i guess you could call them, one of them is black. were he to be elected, i believe that could be one step closer to aiding the african community and finally erasing the blacks/whites debacle. it wont solve it, that may never happen, but it would be a huge progress. screw traditionalism. the modern world is continually changing. john paul saw that, the vatican must now see it also.

Good Riddence!!!
