Pope John Paul II was probably the most influencial leaders in the past quarter century. His message was of peace and compassion. I am a Catholic and I have been praying for the Pope these past few days as he has been suffering before his death. Today and for the next few days, I along with one sixth of the world who follow under the Pope in the Catholic Church, will be mourning his passing. Many more who are not Catholic will be doing the same, because as a man, Pope John Paul II was about as good of a person as you could get. I am sure he is already in Heaven with all the other Saints and God.
The world has lost a great man today.

I am not trying to speak for Art or anyone else, but I will say that my interpretation of "minor" is that the Pope was old, had made many contributions and it was his time to go.
However, the world has lost many great men... and women, recently...
