Pope John Paul II

On this date, four years ago, Pope John Paul II -- John Paul the Great, I believe -- went to his reward.  According to this story:

Pope Benedict XVI is marking the fourth anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II with an evening Mass and new prayers for the Polish pontiff's beatification.
