Do you guys think Pope John Paul II is our spiritual leader?

No. Not when he was alive, and certainly not now that he's dead. But then, I'm an unrepentant old atheist and think all such people, the institutions they serve, and the buildings they do it in, are merely monuments to superstition.

If you ask me he was a decent person but was often blinded by his own faith.
Telling over one billion East Indians that condoms are not good in a nation so over populated, so poor and with HIV, well is just stupid. Faith should always be tempered by reason.

From St Faustina Note Book 6

As I was praying for Poland, I heared the words: "I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming".

The Spark, Pope John Paul II "Be Not Afraid"

In Jesus Name Thy Will Be Done, Amen and Amen (*)

My spiritual leader is...ready for this...GOD!!!

Our problem is listening to earthy bodies telling us how we should conduct ourselves as Christians....It's way there have been so many sects and wars ..it aint what the good book says that seems to count but what a Pope, Cardinal or Bishop says about the word..

I was refering to the person in question, John Paul II, Karol Jozef Wojtyla, born in wadowice, southern Poland, I'll have you know. Although I find it ironic that a victim of Nazi and Communist genocide should be replaced by a member of the Hitler youth.

Or did you not know he was Polish?...shocking.
