Pope John Paul II was active as a universal symbol. That is, not only did he bind Catholics all over the world but he also bound religions all over the world through his philanthropic actions

This quote by drpandit pretty much tells it all. POPE JOHN PAUL II was a great man, and hopefully, his legacy and spirit will reside throughout the Catholic Church in the future. The pope embodied the past line of Catholic traditionalism, starting with Jesus and the first pope, St. Peter. The pope embodied the present, with his reaction to current international events and his bond with all peoples. The pope embodied the future, with his hopes and actions for global peace and the ultimate end of all animosity and unethicality. God bless Pope John Paul II. Ad maiorem gloriam dei.
