Qualities of a Great Pope... Pope John Paul II was widely admired for his willingness to speak out against governments, even as he stood within their country.
As a priest, Pope John Paul would have to forget his dreams of becoming an actor. As a Roman Catholic, priests are not allowed to marry, he would never have a wife, or be the father of a family. It was a decision that would change his life. He thought hard about this decision until he came up with the conclusion that the church would be his family & he would be a father to the people around him
"Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought." Pope John Paul II
