POPE JOHN PAUL II – A GIANT OF OUR TIME

A STATEMENT FROM ALOYSIUS CARDINAL AMBROZIC

ARCHBISHOP OF TORONTO

APRIL 2, 2005

A giant of our time has died.

The twentieth century can boast of a few giants.  This one was a giant of goodness in every sense of the word, political, social, spiritual.

 

He was a giant of profound insight into the human condition of the modern human being, courageous to speak the truth of Christ, in season and out of season.  He was also a giant of insight into the message of the Second Vatican Council, and the real needs of the Church.

+ Aloysius Cardinal Ambrozic

Archbishop of Toronto.
