USA Today<\/a> (via Yahoo! News) put it very interestingly:<\/p>\n

“Be not afraid,” Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, the brilliant Polish theologian, said on the October 1978 day when he became Pope John Paul II.<\/p>\n

And it seemed he never was – spiritually, morally, politically or physically – until his death April 2 from heart and kidney failure while thousands prayed in St. Peter’s Square.<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

It seemed he never was [afraid] until his death.<\/p>\n

I know what the writer means. But I wonder if the writer revealed more truth than even she knows.<\/p>\n

What would JPII fear at his death? And did he have cause to fear after<\/i> his death?<\/p>\n

But never mind him. He lived his life, died, and received his judgment from the only just Judge.<\/p>\n

What about me? And you?<\/p>\n

\n
That’s too personal? Fine. Let’s move on to something else in the news story:<\/p>\n

Since St. Peter established the papacy….<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Now there is something else that, like the theory of evolution, is presented as established fact.<\/p>\n

\n
And also this from the story:<\/p>\n

He also changed the map of personal faith, with his deep devotion to the Virgin Mary….<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

Ah, perhaps this clarifies a potential for fear at his death.<\/p>\n

Well, anyway, I acknowledge that JPII did accomplish some positive things.<\/p>\n

So, let God be the Judge (as though my “letting” Him somehow affects anything). And let Mark Roth believe and live as he ought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
