"Perhaps we, too, can gain by looking to Pope John Paul II as a good
example of what it means to be a Christian. I find it ironic that we
criticize Catholics for looking to one man who they consider appointed by God
to be a leader in their church. Do we not do the same with Ellen White? Were
they not both godly individuals [Ellen White and John Paul II] whom God used
in a powerful way to lead His people [Adventists and Catholics] through
hard times? I imagine if they met each other and looked back at their
respective churches, they might both shake their heads and say with a sigh,
'Oh, those rowdy kids.' May we live in such a manner as to meet them both
someday." - The Collegian (A student
weekly newspaper of Walla
Walla College), April 14, 2005
NOTE: In the actual Newspaper it states
"Alden Thompson" was the author of the above paragraph. Truth is,
that is not the case here. The above paragraph is part of a larger article where
Alden Thompson was in fact quoted, but Alden Thomspon called this ministry and
made it clear that a Student writing the Newspaper wrote the above paragraph
and the "footnotes" pointing out his comments (as well as others)
were misplaced in such a way that made it appear as if Alden Thompson wrote
the above paragraph.
