The Pope for Life

John Paul II was beatified on May first of this year. Thousands of people met together in St. Peter’s square to follow the beatifying event; also millions of people followed it through the media.

He was a charismatic leader loved by believers and non-believers alike, whose words were listened to and respected around the whole world.

What made him so interesting? One of the things that he defended during all his live was the respect for human dignity. His messages were so attractive because they were always about human dignity and his testimony was really convincing and authentic. John Paul II was the defender of life, his most important teachings are about the defense of unborn babies, mentally handicapped, and he reminded us that each and every person is unique and unrepeatable, that’s the reason to respect their lives from conception until natural death.
