Well said. I'm not a religious person at all though I was brought up a Roman Catholic. Wasn't sure what to make of a lot of the Pope's views however I did respect him for his strength and for not being afraid to upset people to gain progress. And also for getting a pair of shades off of Bono :lol:
Anyway I sat in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow on Sunday morning. They have a white wall there dedicated to his visit to that park in 1982. I remember it being a scorcher and I also got the day off school (yayyyyyy! ). I was just curious as to what sort of tributes, if any, had been left there. Its right on the top of a small hill and I must have sat there for about an hour watching people coming and going and paying their respects and praying. It was pretty humbling really if I'm totally honest. I think the best thing anyone can say about him is that he really believed and tried to make the world a better and safer place for us and for our kids. He brought religions together where they were divided before.
Next time I'm in that park it will be the Coldplay gig!!
