Saint John Paul II

          We are delighted to learn of the recent canonization of one of the greatest leaders of the Twentieth Century, Pope John Paul II.  Together with President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul brought about the dissolution of the Soviet Union, freeing millions of people from the yoke of communism, including those in his own native Poland.  All this was achieved without bloodshed by three great leaders united in their belief that all people should live in freedom and steadfast in their determination to end the scourge of Soviet communism once and for all.  Congratulations, Saint John Paul II!
