The Liberty Lamp: Libertarian News & Editorials

As reported by BBC News, His Holiness, Pope John Paul II seems to be taking a turn for the worst. He's been through a lot of medial problems over the years, but has always made amazing comebacks, remaining as active as possible. In fact, John Paul II is the most well-traveled pope in history, and was the first non-Italian pointiff in centuries. Check out the article linked to here and say a prayer for the old man, if you're so inclined. If not, at least recognize that he is an exemplary person (though everyone has a few faults), and has done much for the world, from his time as an underground preacher in Nazi-occupied Poland to his reign as pope during the last quarter century or so.

You're welcomed to post any comments you might have here. Note that this is one of the few religion-related posts that you'll see here, as i am agnostic. However, John Paul has done a lot of good for millions of people, and I was brought up Catholic, so I feel I owe it to them to shed light on the situation.
