Didn't someone take a shot at this one...?
I was just watching some videos about the Pope this morning and saw one regarding this incident. The Pope actually went to the man who shot him and had a private session with him, forgiving him and praying for his soul.
It was at that point that I said to myself "if
that doesn't qualify a man for sainthood, I don't know what else does."
I too am not Catholic, but I believe that John Paul II was definitely one of the world's greatest leaders. I truly hope that the next person to take the position will be able to uphold the same level of dignity and virtue that John Paul II exuded.
