Pope John Paul II was a towering figure - a prime actor on the world political stage and a man who brought his church through a troubled time with his strength, charisma, and sense of mission. Its because of his leadership that the Catholic Church, though its rifts werent fully healed, grew in numbers and influence during his papacy, and that the discipline and doctrines he imposed made it stronger, not weaker. Leaders everywhere can learn from his example.
