The Passing of the Pope

A few encomia to Pope John Paul II for your reading pleasure:

First, secularist Charles Krauthammer gives us a meaty entree on the importance of Pope John Paul II to freedom.

Wash that down with a bit of Mark Riebling's reflections on the Pope and Ronald Reagan.

And for dessert, why not treat yourself to a little Q&A with the Pope's official biographer? No fat, I promise.
