Your words were beautiful Leni. The Nobel Peace Prize would be meaningless for a man of God, God's grace is infinitely more meaningful.

Thank you, Cronos. I agree the Nobel Prize would not puff up the Pope. His life itself has been noble and no award could further embellish it.

I would hope the award bestowed on this Pope would inspire other world leaders and clerics to aspire to higher goals and to emulate John Paul as well as they can. Christian flocks everywhere would also be proud and would be invigorated, IMO.

Though the Nobel Prize has been debased for many years with awards given to those undeserving of it, John Paul's recognition would restore some of its original luster.

All this brings to mind Clintoon's nomination for the award and his subsequent attempts to buy it. Shameful! Thank God he didn't get away with it.
