I am not Catholic, but I have gone to mass several times, and I think that JPII is a good person.

Personally, if he is a Holy person, I think he'd be a hell of alot happier dead, with God, then in the world. So we should be happy for him! But I don't want him to suffer alot.

Then there is all that afterlife-shiz and weird stuff that no ones sure about... But I don't think he should get alot of time on the news, but he deserves some. So do Islamic leaders though.
