POPE JOHN PAUL II: OUTSTANDING FIGURE IN MODERN CHRISTENDOM, ONE OF
THE MOST COURAGEOUS SPIRITUAL LEADERS OF OUR TIME
His Holiness Aram I made the following statement expressing his
profound sadness following the announcement by the Holy See of the
death of His Holiness Pope John Paul II:
"His Holiness Pope John Paul II will remain an outstanding figure
in the modern history of world Christendom. In fact, his relentless
effort to make the Gospel of Christ a living reality in the life of
people, his unyielding prophetic witness to make the moral values
the guiding principles of human societies, his firm commitment to the
cause of Christian unity, his openness to other religions with a clear
vision of living together as a reconciled community in the midst of
diversities, and his continuous advocacy for justice, human rights
and freedom made him an exceptional figure of great achievements. As
moderator of the World Council of Churches central committee and as
the Armenian Catholicos of Cilicia, I had the privilege to meet His
Holiness on different occasions and witnessed the strength of his
faith, the depth of his wisdom and the clarity of his vision."
