My words fall short of describing the deep sadness that I feel at this great man’s passing. He was an icon, a symbol for what the papacy stood for. Say what you will about the Catholic organization and dogma, Karol Joseph Wojtyla was a good man who stood for peace, love and God. He carried with him an air of, well, “holiness” for lack of a better word, that no priest or pastor or imam I know could ever hope to match. Besieged by scandals the world over, the one shining light the Roman Catholic Church had was its leader, and now he is with God.
