A
forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local
and national issues Question
of the Week: "How
do you think the world will best remember Pope John Paul II?"

"I
think that he tried to be a people's Pope to relate to the everyday
person and help them experience their faith in everyday life." Lori
MacIsaac, Evergreen Circle

"He
will be remembered as the most important person from eastern Europe
in the 20th century." Bill Green, Lake Drive

"Although
I found he was too conservative to my liking, he was revered and
well respected and that's how I hope he will be remembered." Gloria
Tener, Governors Lane 
"I'm
not sure about the world but I will remember that he did make
efforts towards peace by extending himself towards other world
leaders and also making statements about that. I don't like the
fact that he didn't do anything for women. He had a very conservative
attitude about women's place in the world and in the Church." Julia
Poulos, Witherspoon Street

"I
think he faithfully upheld the doctrines of the Catholic Church
and he reached out to the world's Christians in a way that previous
Popes hadn't done before." Rebecca Jordan,
Student, Princeton Theological Seminary
