You are 77 years old. You have been elected to a lifetime position in a strange, hardly surviving worldwide organization. And you have Parkinson's. Never mind : you come to Paris, gather a million boys and girls and lift them up to enthusiasm with one shaky blessing hand ! Pope Jean-Paul, while I was born a catholic, I got tired of your outdated speech and gave up many years ago. Yet, I am deeply impressed by your courage, your stony consistency, your incredible resistance to weariness, and that very personal sense of humor replacing your dead smile. Jean-Paul, you would deserve hearing the voice of God. This is only me . try harder ! Bernard Joly
