The Pope
Pope John Paul II has passed away.
He was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. He spoke up against communism and other forms of dictatorships. He was loved by millions.
Soon, the search is on for the next pope. I wouldn't be surprised if the next pope is from the Third World. That is where most of the growth of Catholic Church is right now. We might have the 1st non-European pope.
