约翰·保罗二世辞世4月3日凌晨,教皇约翰·保罗二世因病逝世.世界十亿天主教徒顿失精神领袖.约翰·保罗二世一生可用“多彩”两字概括。东欧出生的他能登上梵蒂冈对彼得大教堂教皇宝座本身就不同凡响。此前四百多年这个位置一直由意大利人坐着。他曾被人击成重伤却宽恕了刺客;他曾公开承认当年教廷迫害哥白尼和伽利略的错误;他是两千年来第一个步入清真寺的教皇;9.11后不久他便公开呼吁基督教和伊斯兰教相互对话,呼吁不同信仰的人们彼此相爱。《圣经》上说,“你们愿意人怎样待你们,你们也要怎样待人”,“为什么看见你兄弟眼中有刺,却不想自己眼中有梁木呢?”(路加福音)。约翰·保罗二世用一生去实践了自己的信仰。 The death of John Paul II Pope John Paul II died on the early morning of April 3. The world’s one billion Catholics have lost their spiritual leaders and John Paul II can be summed up in his life as “colorful.” Born in Eastern Europe, he was able to board the Vatican on the pedestal of Peter the Basilica itself is extraordinary. This location has been sitting by the Italians for more than four hundred years. He had been severely wounded but forgone assassins; he publicly acknowledged the mistakes the Holy See was persecuting Copernicus and Galileo of the year; he was the first Pope to step into the mosque in 2000; he publicly called Christianity and Islam intercedes and calls for people of different faiths to love one another. The Bible says, “What do you want people to do to you, and how do you deal with others?” “Why do you want to see the sting in your brother’s eyes, but not in your eyes?” (Luke Gospel). John Paul II used his life to practice his faith.
