Condolences to our Catholic members


Pope John Paul II was deeply by many people throughout the world, not just Catholics. His personal and spiritual presence on the troubled world stage will be sorely missed. I'm sure that many of our Audiogon members join in sending condolences to our Catholic members, and join them in wishing for a smooth transition as the new Pope is selected.

Pope John Paul II was a great leader and statesman, reaching out to people of faith. He played an active role in the undoing of communism in Eastern Europe, as well as preaching tolerance and support to the less fortunate in the world. He didn't "talk the talk", he "walked the walk" traveling all over the world to fulfill his duties. I'm not Catholic but did have the opportunity to visit the Vatican two weeks ago, it was inspiring.

Obviously many other "leaders" could learn much from his efforts. A lot to learn from a man who will go down in history as one of the truly great leaders that made a very noticable difference in the world.
