My mother said to me, "If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope." Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

(On The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)) It was the most fun I`ve ever had on a movie. It was one of the happiest times in my life. I was living in New York, and I really enjoyed acting at the time. [pauses] Also, it`s funny because that was also the tim...

I am a Roman Catholic. Not a fanatic, but I practice enough to keep the franchise. I don`t always agree with the Pope . . . there are issues that concern me, like abortion, contraception, the ordination of women . . . and others. I think the Church should...

[On meeting Pope John Paul II at the White House in 1978] "He impressed me more than any other man I`ve ever met, and I`ve met a lot. My wife and I happened to be seated on one of the aisles, and the Pope came right down and he saw me and smiled. The smil...

Twenty-seven years ago I travelled with the then Archbishop of Krakow Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to Rome (where he was elected Pope). I am convinced he will continue to lead me by the hand from on high.

Troops from Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base are nobly answering the call of duty, separated from their families, friends, and loved ones.

The rains in Washington on the day that Pope John Paul II died were unusually ferocious, as if the heavens were weeping with uncontrollable sadness.

The pope is becoming a missionary, you will say. Yes, the pope is becoming a missionary, which means a witness, a shepherd, an apostle on the move.

Michael Novak
Pope John Paul II not only was a powerful spiritual leader for Catholics but also a world leader of extraordinary consequence during the last quarter-century.

One should indeed read Pope with his notes available, in the Twickenham edition possibly, to see what a vast amount he did understand about Homer.
Robert Fitzgerald
Neither was there any heresy, or diversity of opinion, or disputing about the matter, till the pope had gathered a council to confirm this transubstantiation: wherefore it is most likely that this opinion came up by them of latter days.

Khomeini was not a puppet like Arafat or Qaddafi or the many other dictators I met in the Islamic world. He was a sort of Pope, a sort of king - a real leader.
Oriana Fallaci
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
