FOXX ISSUES REMARKS ON POPE’S DEATH
Washington, DC,
April 2, 2005
U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) issued the following statement upon learning of Pope John Paul II’s death:
“The world has lost one of its greatest spiritual leaders. Pope John Paul II was a wonderful humanitarian who was much more than just the leader of the Catholic Church. He was a servant of God whose purpose in life was to work on behalf of all of humanity. “The Pope was a courageous man who worked to make the world a better place by fighting for basic human rights. He was a staunch advocate of the right to life and the right to freedom from oppression. In a society often characterized by worldliness, the Pope stood as a symbol of morality, integrity, and faith. “I join the rest of the world in mourning his loss.” ### |
