CNN is now reporting that Pope John Paul II has died.
Though I am not a Catholic, I too grieve for the loss of a wonderful man from this world. He was a liberator, who refused to concede an inch of humanity to the false gods of totalitarianism. Likewise, in the free world, he bore witness against the idolotry of personal autonomy.
He began his office proclaiming "Be not afraid!" It seems a fine thing to remember today.
