Did the death of John Paul II affect you?

Question

In what way?

Answer 1

It did for me because I predicted it. I remember when they announced he had fallen ill again, and I looked up at the TV and saw his color had changed. For some very odd reason and I am not proud of this nor am I bragging, I am able to tell. I said out loud to my husband at the time "He's going to be dead in two weeks". He just looked at me like "Uh oh, what's she talking about nowwwwww........?". Two weeks later, he was gone. I then predicted my uncle's death, the death of my mother in law, and my friend. The first one was the Pope, though. For some odd reason it was him that started it. It sounds crazy, I know, but I'm only telling the truth.

Answer 2

I didn't realize until he died what a good man he was and what a great leader he'd been. As I read more about the things he did and the loving way that he treated people, I started to see that I'd misjudged him about a lot of things.

John Paul II was a great leader, a great human being, and possibly the greatest Pope of all time. I miss his warm, witty personality and intelligence.

Answer 3

i desire no longer check out the lives and/or dying of the renowned. i do no longer choose for renowned human beings. i desire purely check out my own existence, and private reviews with dying. Our family lost 4 in a house fireplace on Christmas Eve of 1989.

My darkish section is amazingly darkish. My extraordinary section generally would not think of that's going to pay to take something heavily.

Answer 4

Yes. It saddened me, because in spite of our theological differences I think he was a decent man who was strong in his convictions, and I know that he affected the lives of many people.

I also found the Litany of the Saints (at least I think that's what it was) during his funeral to be very powerful and moving.

Answer 5

He was my favorite Pope-- the only true believer (in my opinion). He never tried to gain power or control the masses. He was a good man that I believe trusted in Jesus for his salvation-- not his own 'holiness'.
He was the first pope to use email!

I was pretty sad, I suppose, but maybe one day I'll meet him up there. I'm not a Catholic by the way.

Altho I'm not Roman Catholic, it did. Very much! I admired the man and the way he conducted himself while full filling his service to God. I thought he passed with such Grace. That came from God!

Answer 7

It did and I'm not even Christian. As far as I was concerned, he was a gentle, caring figure, with unbelievable resolve and determination and I was sad to hear about his death.

Answer 8

Answer 10

Not personally, but it's always a loss when a great leader dies. I think he was quite a tribute to the Catholic Church.
