never won a Nobel Peace prize?
I reviewed a list of all winners of the award since it began and was stunned that Pope John Paul II’s name didn’t appear! How the Committee failed to note his absolute commitment to world peace and to social justice is unbelievable. Pope John Paul II can likely be credited with a significant role in the overthrow of Communism in Poland and throughout Eastern Europe. I guess their lack of focus on true peacemakers comports with this years award of the prize to someone who himself admits that he hasn’t earned the prize yet.
