I totally agree.  I was raised Irish Catholic, so I've always had to 
come to terms with the religion, as a spiritual power and the church 
as a organizational body.  I don't always agree with the rules of the man 
body, that is the Catholic church but I whole heartedly believe
in the power of spirtual enlightenment.
Time and again, J.P. II reaches to help people focus on the real message,
which is fundamentally growing spiritually, treating people well,
and attempting to be a bit better every day.

One dosn't have to endorse some of the religious rules of
Catholism to applaud this Pope's courage and heart.
