It is not true that we don't think of the man but, as he was in office less than a month, it is hardly surprising that Catholics don't often refer to him. That said, the kind of papacy that he seemed to be intent on pursuing seems be echoed in the new pope so, perhaps, hopefully, his brief legacy, modesty and humility will be amplified by someone now able so to do...

anne is jolly.
Shame about the statue, though.
God is nice too, actually. Some Colombian bloke who is ill, prays to the memory of John Paul, gets better. Attributed to god.
Statue of John Paul falls on man who is disabled, so can't get out of the way fast enough. NOT attributed to god.
You see. God only does nice things. Bad things are just ... well, just tough titties, really.

Religion is something I generally pay limited attention to however, I've found this story quite interesting because its writing new history.
Because of where the new pope is from it piqued my interest (spending half my life in the Falklands it would) however he seems like a decent man and if any church can have a decent person in charge then maybe they are half way to winning the battle. I was brought up Church of Scotland but have no religion to speak of, plenty of faith but thats a different matter
