of the church from a staunch defender of the old-

world political order, to a democratic sympathizer,is due to the visionary leadership of John Paul II.

Conclusion

Pope John Paul was a rebel with a cause. Achampion of human worth and dignity, a freedomfighter, a torch bearer for social justice, he left alasting legacy of leadership and moral examplethat the world can follow. Asked once if he fearedretaliation from government officials, he said Imnot afraid of them. They are afraid of me. Indeed,he relayed a message to the world that will echo

throughout eternity: BE NOT AFRAID!
