I well remember my first meeting with Pope John Paul. It was before he became Pope. I was travelling in Poland, a guest of the priests of the Society of Christ. In Krakow we were invited to dine with the Archbishop, Archbishop Karol Wojtyla. What impressed me immediately was the quiet strength that emanated from him. Here was a man physically powerful, not particularly tall, but broad of shoulder, whose clear blue eyes looked directly into ones own and suggested other strengths as well. Little did either of us know then that within a few months he would be elected Pope. The years that followed would demonstrate just how true my first impressions were. - A statement from Archbishop Francis Carroll on the death of Pope John Paul II - 3 Apr 2005
