Pope John Paul II died on this day in 2005. What is your opinion of him?

A quick summary of his life and work, for those interested...

He was born Karol Wojtyla on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. He was ordained a priest in 1946, after having trained in secret due to the Nazi invasion and occupation of Poland. In October 1978, he was elected pope at the comparatively young age (by papal standards) of 58 and had one of the longest reigns in history.

In his youth, he was known to be very pious and athletic, and loved theater. His mother died in 1929, then his older brother some time later. His father died of a heart attack in 1941. He participated in secret theater productions in order to keep Polish culture alive during World War II.

As a priest, he had a great love for theology and philosophy. After the fall of the Nazis, the Communists invaded Poland, for whom he was also problematic.

As pope, he upheld Church dogma on things like abortion, marriage, and sexual morality. He also helped bring about the downfall of the Soviet Union. On the other hand though, he traveled too much, approved some very bad appointments for bishops, and made the papacy into something of a celebrity.

Sorry for repost, I made a new account and deleted old one because ******** blocked me after I attempted to block her over a single little mistake I made.

The pros of me: teaches you how to do yoga and meditation, knows how to use the air fryer, loves to make new friends regardless of age and gender.

The cons of me: forgets my water bottle and towel on most days of the week when heading to the gym, lives way too far from Six Flags and Disneyland, has very little (mostly online) friends.

My hobbies are cars, food, music, shopping, and the general aspects of nature. Animals, plants, and self-discipline are all God's pleasure.

Be careful ladies, the personality of a Capricorn dude is DANGEROUS. Us capguys treat animal abusers and Russian war criminals with physical force and injustice.
