Lady Thatcher today on Pope Jon Paul II:

We should remember Pope John Paul II not just as the greatest Pope of
modern times but also as a valiant fighter for the truth,” she said.
His life was a long struggle against the lies employed to excuse evil. By
combating the falsehoods of communism and proclaiming the true dignity of
the individual, his was the moral force behind victory in the Cold War.
Millions owe him their freedom and self respect. The whole world is
inspired by his example.
