I guess, it is not easy to get to the top power for a nice and descent man. Functioners from religion is not much difference. However, John Paul seems to be a rare exception. Not always he did right things (from my personal point of view), but I am sure that he tried to make the World a better place, and he truly believed that it is possible. Also, he did offered a friendly hand to people from other religious concessions. It is a great man in a history!
