A lot of heart
He is one of the most noble man that I think ever walked on Earth. He is a person that can not be forgotten just because he is no longer with us. His heart and legacy will always remain with us. He was not afraid of change and all he did was for the best. Personally I think one of the best things about him was his heart. He forgave the person that tried to kill him, that takes a lot of heart. I want to thank you for all you did. May you rest in peace.

His picture in my room always smiles!
Pope John Paul II was one of the greatest men of our times. Maybe I love this Pope more then usual because I'm Roman, so I had the priviledge to see him, listen to him and appreciate him many times. His picture in my room always smiles! Thank you for all, dear father, and rest in peace!

Is this really Christian
This Pope has failed in curbing the most deadly plague of the 20th century: AIDS. By preventing people from using condoms, he is directly responsible of the death of thousands of Christians who do have faith. Moreover, I don't think that a man should be published on a website such as Lovemarks: Is this really Christian to call a man a brand?

Dignity, utmost humanity and grace
Dignity, utmost humanity and grace - never gone and will remain in my heart and soul. I want to bring up my son the way the Holy Father would. Grief, love and hope together.

We will look back...
JP II is a man's man. He's a great shepherd trying to help many, many lost sheep. Strong yet loving. Disciplined yet caring. Love, truth, order, sacrifice, obedience - most of us don't get it....and it shows. Hate, fear, greed, violence, self-centeredness rule the day all over the world. We will look back after he passes from this life and know there was clarity in his life and the role he played on the world stage.

An overwhelming responsibility
This guy must be responsible for about as many deaths as Hitler. Maybe not right now, but in a few years time thousands, nay, millions of AIDS-victims will die because of a lack of, or just plain wrong education on STDs and condoms. The Pope and his office bear an overwhelming responsibility for this disaster which is happening right now. The Catholic church still thinks they can get authority by intimidating people, keeping them dumb and fearful. Sorry to rain on your parade, guys.. but those days are over.

I do think extremely well of the man
I must speak regarding Pope John Paul II. The oddly few comments (being #1 in votes with barely a page of comments) seem to speak of the man, but little of his office as Pope. Personally, I do not recognize that office's authority. That's an entirely different discussion. However, I do think extremely well of the man as an ambassador of goodwill for humanity. Often I wonder how much of his life is truly his these days. Anyway the lovemark is for the "Pope" aspect of his life and I just cannot vote positively for it.

A former catholic
Religion is a weapon of mass destruction. No condoms in a mobile society, utter maddness. A great way to kill off all those 'others' in 3rd world countries. What about spreading the wealth from the GEC stocks to the poor. As a former catholic who read some history, this is a mark for deception, and damnation.

Like the signpost
John Paul II is like the signpost. He is so full of Life and Love. I can't imagine the world without Him. I know it will happen someday, but on that day the world will not be the same.

Sight unseen
The Pope is so cool. He is a good example of a man of Christ. There are few people today who are truly faithful to what they can't even see.
