Thanks for those links vanlee. The world needs more people like John Paul II, but I’d say that the real heroes are the people of Eastern and Central Europe who risked their necks to go out in the street to protest and strike. Presidents and popes don’t risk their lives when taking a stand against despotism, but ordinary people who refuse to cooperate with their oppressors face real danger. Political and religious leaders who stand for what’s right deserve honour, but without large numbers of courageous ordinary folks they would be impotent.
