On The Death of John Paul II

2 Apr 2005
Bono has spoken of the passing today of Pope John Paul II.

"The best front man the Catholic Church ever had. A great show man, a great communicator of ideas even if you didn't agree with all of them, a great friend to the world's poor which is how I got to meet him. Without John Paul II its hard to imagine the Drop the Debt campaign succeeding as it did."
