From Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II, by George Weigel:

His threadbare cassock was covered by a worn, dark green coat, which seemed to have been made from material originally intended for the manufacture of blankets.

Entering the recreation hall where his class was held, he tossed his overcoat over the back of a chair and began to pace back and forth behind the podium, not so much lecturing as unraveling a skein of argument in which theology and everyday life were woven together. He never seemed to tire of looking at an issue, first from this angle, then from that, always trying to get the question just right....


This is what you get when you have a politics major in the house. I wrote a leadership analysis of John Paul II my senior year, and came to appreciate his work and his life. It was a sad day for me when he passed. There are few men on the planet about whom you can say, "He really was a good man." I think he was one of them.

And no, I'm not even Catholic. ;)
