Pope John Paul II
A Statement from the General
With the death of Pope John Paul II the world has lost a spiritual leader and statesman of towering stature. His courage in speaking for those who have no voice, his rock-like stand for the values in which he believed, and the tireless way in which he carried out his worldwide pastoral duties, have been an inspiration to millions. His life has left an indelible imprint on his era, and his achievements are historic.
Salvationists from around the world join with their Roman Catholic brothers and sisters in thanking and praising God for the life of Pope John Paul II, and pray that they may know the comfort of Christ in their hour of sorrow.
