The Catholic Church [with Pope John Paul II] has lost its shepherd. The world has lost a champion of human freedom.

It's a fact of life that positive reasons don't always get people to vote. You need some negative reasons.

The last person to be beatified by Pope John Paul II was Mother Teresa of Calcutta in 2003.

I think, internally, we Catholics have known this for a long time. I think we're just thrilled and grateful that the rest of the world now is sharing in the esteem and gratitude that we've had for Pope John Paul II for 26 and a half years.

Be tough, hold a tough line, but don`t be running off into another war, especially since even if you support our troops and you want to have a robust foreign policy, you recognize that we have - we have been overdeploying our men and women, and we have been spilling our blood and treasure, and we need to be more careful.

I don't believe he had a responsibility to even answer that question - you have no responsibility to answer personal questions that people have no right to ask you.
