April 2, 2005: Pope John Paul II passed away

Pope John Paul II Fast Facts - CNN
John Paul II passed away on this day in 2015

He now belongs to the ages, as someone said when Lincoln died in 1865. 

We were very lucky to share the planet with Mother Theresa and John Paul II.

Historians will review John Paul II's legacy.  Some will like him. Others won't.  Either way, John Paul II was a consequential historical figure and we can not say that about most politicians or religious leaders.

It will be very difficult for anyone to fill John Paul II's shoes.

P.S.  You can listen to my show (Canto Talk).
