BILLY GRAHAM CITES POPE AS MAN OF THE CENTURY

        NEW YORK, DEC 20 (ZENIT).- Television evangelist Billy Graham says that he thinks the man of the century might be Pope John Paul II. In an interview with the Associated Press, he stated that John Paul "has brought the greatest impact of any Pope in the last 200 years." He continued by saying, "I admire his courage, determination, intellectual abilities, and his understanding of Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox differences, and the attempt at some form of reconciliation."

        Graham is eighty-one years old. Looking back on the past century, he asserted that the 21st century won't be very different from the one that is ending. "Man's heart has not changed. God has not changed," he asserted. "Some of the things I've heard are going to happen technologically are way beyond anything I can think about. I don't think that's going to change society. Society is made up of people, and people are the same the world over." ZE99122020
