Ahhh, a name like Ornery, and the content of your posts makes it painfully obvious you're an idiot.
There a mountains of text written on the Pope and his accomplishments, including his worldly ones.
And yet, you still need them pointed out to you. Not only that, you defy them with weak arguements that hold no real weight.
You've asked me to hold your hand and show you what the Pope has accomplished that you should respect him for. Well, I'll take your hand and I'll walk you into traffic you fvcking idiot.
I see you have accomplished great things like not dieing in a fridge while playing hide-n-seek. You deserve our respect. Congradulations.
He did NOTHING of significant value fvcktard, and here's proof:
The Accomplishments of John Paul II

The Accomplishments of John Paul II
- "No other world figure has commanded the admiration he has enjoyed as the globe-trotting (over 1/2 million miles) Pope. His kindly smile and fatherly wave have made the 'Pope Mobile' a legend. Although they might disagree with his theology, both Catholics and Protestants have joined in the accolades of praise for this man. .Billy Graham has extolled Pope John Paul, 'as the conscience of the whole Christian world.'" [1]
"Pope John Paul II wrapped up a grueling week of ceremonies Wednesday [Oct 22 nd 2003] to celebrate his 25th anniversary.A day after giving the 30 new members of the College of Cardinals their trademark scarlet hats, the 83-year-old pope presented the men with their cardinals' rings, which symbolize their link to the Church and the pope..The pope suffers from Parkinson's disease, which in the last few months has made it difficult for him to speak clearly. He is also unable to walk or stand, hobbled by hip and knee ailments and arthritis." [2]
The world is quite clearly being prepared for the death of the Pope. As the world gazes with fascination on this man and his endeavors, it is of paramount importance to know what the Pope believes, as his title and teachings have captivated the hearts of millions. In human terms of worldly success and acclaim it is hard to find an equal to John Paul II. During his twenty-five year reign as head of the Roman Catholic Church, he has traveled more, spoken more and published more than any of his predecessors.
"John Paul II has logged more than 1,126,541 kilometers from visits to 102 countries, which is like going around the earth close to 30 times.But perhaps the most lasting imprimatur he has left is his contribution to Christianity's growing list of saints..Vatican observers credit the Pope with being the single biggest influence in the collapse of Communism and the Berlin Wall, for instance his opposition to Poland's Communist regime early in his career showed him as a man who was not just part of the crowd. In 1980 in his address to the United Nations General Assembly he had hoped that there would be 'No more war, war never again! .In more recent times, in the wake of 9/11 he has appealed to the Christian world not to equate Islam with terrorism. The Pope has not only sought collaboration between various churches but also preached reconciliation between the religions of the world.Witness his gift for the grand gesture of kissing the soil of a country on arrival, visiting a mosque, inserting a scroll into a crevice of Jerusalem's Western Wall, embracing the handicapped.Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, who heads the Vatican office responsible for saints' causes, came somewhere close to assessing 25 years of John Paul II's pontificate, when he said early this month: 'I think this pope will deservedly pass into history as the pope of sainthood. The pope often recalls that sanctity is part of the Church's nature, it is in its DNA.'" [3]

I honestly can't say if he has done more good or harm...
Do I respect him? About as much as any other person I don't know.

That's the fault of the parents who are having children they cannot care for.
Obviously fvcking is more important than feeding the children that result from it to some people.

that's crazy stupid talk. Why blame the Pope for that because he's the head of a church that as one of its fundamental tenets opposes birth control...you could with as much foundation blame the parents for being irresponsible, or, and what i think the real issue is here, the governments of those countries, and the developed countries for mismanaging the economy and allowing such poverty to exist...
Thanks for giving me your permission to post a link proving you wrong.
I thought I said I didn't care either way? Maybe I misunderstood myself.
Let me clear this up. I don't care.
I'm not your mother, and it is not my job to wipe your ass. You're a big boy and you can clean up your own sh!t, or you can sit in it.

in the view of the church, sex = procreation. if you're using a condom, you're obviously not having sex with the intent of procreation and thus, shouldn't be having sex at all as far as the catholic church is concerned. this is also one of the reasons why the church is so anti-homosexual.
I am an atheist and yeah, I do respect him. He's one of those very few poeple whom I disgree with, but can't help but like and respect.
Except he did more than any other single person.
