All three of the last three popes had different styles. Pope John Paul II helped bring the teaching of the Church to Her members.

Saying Goodbye to our Parish
A week or so ago I talked about writing a letter to the Bishop. I decided that I would not post that letter, instead I decided I would post the letter that we wrote to our priest and the pastoral administrator about our decision to leave the parish.
