STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF POPE JOHN PAUL II
|
|
April 4th, 2005 - Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole today released the following statement regarding the death of Pope John Paul II:
"I am deeply saddened by the death of Pope John Paul II. The Pope was beloved and adored throughout the world and touched countless lives. Mere words cannot describe the impact his example and actions have had on all humanity.
"The Holy Father was an example of moral conviction to people of all faiths, who used his influence to promote individual dignity and respect for every human life.
"He inspired the Polish people to embrace Solidarity and stand against communist tyranny and oppression. History will no doubt record him as a catalyst to the fall of the Soviet Empire and the liberation of millions in Eastern Europe and throughout the world.
"I mourn this great loss but know that the legacy of John Paul II’s conviction and inspiration will endure far into the future."
