JOHN PAUL II AND AFRICA is Africas little tribute to a Polish orphan robbed by death of all - father, mother, brother, sister, and almost even self - but would become all to everyone - a Philosopher, Theologian, Author and Pope. It is as it should be for like Christ, or even more than Christ, he was adopted by the whole world, Jews and Gentiles, Christians and non-Christians, young and old. In his humble way, he meant a lot to everyone but something special to the Catholic Church in Africa. Library of Congress Card Cat. No: BX1378.5.M49 2005
