As Catholic who converted to Catholicism partly because I was so inspired by his integrity, courage and faith, I will miss him. And while I do faithfully dissent from some of the official Catholic teachings that he upheld, I recognize he believed in what he did out of unparalleled compassion and ceaseless conviction in human dignity and the sanctity of life. I believe what he wrote and taught and the life he lived, as Pope and before, demonstrated that. I wouldn't dare trivialize anything he taught and upheld as Pope simply because I disagree, since I recognize that he was a greater and more virtuous human being than I may ever hope to be in this lifetime. So rather I hope I will always be open to the example he set for all of us, Catholic and non-Catholic, and remember that if all of us strived to love others with such courage and hope as he did, this world would be remarkedly different and for the better.IP: Logged |

He was an inherently good man and a great spiritual leader. I cried when I read about him yesterday in the Telegraph. For me, yesterday was a particularly moving day as a good friend, who was similarly strong in his Anglican beliefs, was laid to rest. He touched a great many through his benevolence and tolerance, through his sincere belief in the Christian faith, and achieved a great deal in his life. I and a great many others will miss him terribly. So I am being contemplative at the moment, and mourning the passing of two very special people. IP: Logged |

I think it's interesting--astrologically--that his death occurred within a week of the Pluto station. Pluto in Sagitarius....and him being a powerful religious leader.
He set the best example when he went to visit the man who tried to assassinate him in prison and prayed for him and talked to him. (And most importantly, forgave him.)
Just heard that both the Pope and Reagan were shot in 1981--and they died within a year of each other. Reagan died in June. Not sure what significance that might have. IP: Logged |

Seriously, what's the big deal with the Pope forgiving the dude who shot him? Isn't that, like, Christianity 101? I mean, its like we're congradulating a Pulitzer Prize Winner on passing fourth grade english.IP: Logged |

I found it very disturbing that he advised the African people not to wear condoms, even tho thousands of them were dying of aids - I am sure he did a lot of good work, but this I just could not get my head around? May all who pass over R.I.P. xIP: Logged |

"As Pope John Paul II* passed though death's portal Saturday, the world's one billion Catholics praised his leadership, with many calling him a saint. Meanwhile, the Church's cardinals began trekking to Rome to ponder, politic, and elect the next pope. Astrologers can monitor the profound changes through the lens of the Vatican's modern horoscope, set for the city-state's independence from Italy.
The Vatican was born on June 7, 1929 (11:00 am; Rome) with the religious planet Jupiter conjunct the Midheaven. Jupiter is in Taurus, a reflection of the church's deep traditions, as well as its immense wealth. Jupiter is precisely square Neptune, the planet associated with spirituality, but also secrecy, a combination manifest in the Vatican's hidden processes, art treasures, and bank accounts. Authoritative Saturn in religious Sagittarius is also closely linked to Jupiter (by the inconjunction, 150º aspect). These three planets form a tight network of aspects that foster fundamental changes when activated by outer planet transits or major progressions. At the moment, the Vatican's progressed Sun is nearly exactly conjunct Neptune (orb: -0º10'), describing John Paul II's slipping away. Pope John Paul II was elected on October 16, 1978 when transiting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were all closely aspecting the Vatican's Gemini Sun. He truly expressed the travel and communications blend of this sign. At the moment, transiting Neptune is trine the Vatican Sun, offering a window for the next election. However, transiting Pluto is heading toward the Vatican Saturn in a few years, indicating that an older, or more transitional pope is on deck."
