Regarding the new decree by Pope Benedict XVI recognizing his predecessor Pope John Paul II as "venerable" and moving him one step further to sainthood, I commend Pope Benedict XVI for signing a decree recognizing the late Pope John Paul II's life of "heroic virtue."
Pope John Paul II, a man of deep faith, will one day be canonized a saint by the Catholic Church. The Holy Father was an inspiration and a model witness to the life of Christ; a shepherd of truth immersed in profound humility and immense love for both God and man.
His many writings and tireless, worldwide pilgrimages of faith were a source of strength, encouragement, confidence, optimism and enlightenment not only to Catholics but to all men of goodwill.
