This writer speaks for me and for millions. I was fascinated with John Paul II from the moment I first heard about him and followed his career with delight, gratitude, exasperation, and love until this moment. I, a Prostestant, fantasized about having an audience with him! Though it's the form for the monarch of England to style himself so, John Paul II was truly the Defender of the Faith.

Luther - Still excommunicated!
Wycliffe - Still excommunicated!
Huss - Still excommunicated!
Tyndale - Still under anathema!
Hmmm - the Pope did nothing to heal the past sins of the RCC. Perhaps the author doesn't even know why he is a protestant. I wonder if the Augsburg confessions meant anything at all to him. Does the words Sola Fide or Sola Scriptura not mean anything at all? Do all the millions of martyrs that died to bring freedom from Rome not mean anything at all?
The pope had a detente with American Protestants, but that hardly makes him a protestants pope.

I agree. I admired and respected this man greatly, and I grieve his death alongside my Catholic friends. I don't think his successor will be able to fill such enormous shoes, but I pray I'm wrong.
