I admit that this

I admit that this Pentecostal girl doesn't think too much about the pope. I have difficulty understanding how someone with just a title can be held in such esteem above all humanity when afterall he is just a man. He should be respected of course, his office requires this but should he be exalted above men?

However saying that does not negate the good man that this pope is and the sadness and tremendous loss Catholics and many others will experience at his death. I think Marc over at hubs and spokes expresses my sentiments exactly and so much better than I could, so please take a look at this thoughtful post:

He stood by his principles even when they were unpopular. And now as he reaches the end of his journey, we see his commitment to the truth that all human life has value, even in suffering, from the very beginning to the very end.

Read the whole thing.
