John Paul II´s legacy

I’ve been following (with more or less interest), all the things that have surrounded the Pope´s death. It was really curious to see many world politic and religious leaders meeting at St. Peter Square, shaking hands and sharing a little chat like they were old friends. As usual, this is only diplomatic stuff, nobody really cares about their neighbors, and everything will remain the same after a couple of days: war, religious differences and so on. This Pope made a huge effort to reconcile different and in occasions, hostile and belligerent attitudes. All of his work will vanish as soon as the last pilgrim leaves Rome… Sad but true. Many say that John Paul II helped polish people to fight against the communist regime, and other give him credit for tearing down the Berlin Wall. Those were significant accomplishments for his time, but what about the present? Will he help us with all our current problems (Terrorism, Islamic Threats and so on?). Time will tell if his life and death server an specific purpose. Let´s try not to forget his work to preserve freedom and to help poor people fast.
