Meaning of Life and Death in the Poetry of John Paul II

John Paul II will ever be remembered in the pages of history as a Poet who admitted the ‘dark pages’ in the Church’s history with the same courage with which he had vindicated the rights of the Church. He asked forgiveness for violence used during the Inquisition, the cooperation of Christians with dictatorships, and the anti-Semitic prejudice that prevented from taking stand against the Nazi slaughterof the Jews (Accattoli, 2001, p. 12).
