Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams MP has expressed his deep sorrow at the death of Pope John Paul 11 and has extended condolences on behalf of Sinn Féin to the Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland, Most Rev.Dr Guiseppe Lazzarotto and to the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland, Dr Seán Brady.
Paying tribute to the Holy Father Mr. Adams said:
"People throughout Ireland have had a close affinity with Pope John Paul since his historic visit here in 1979 and there will be deep sorrow across the country this evening at the news of his death.
"Although stricken with Parkinsons Disease in recent years, Pope John Paul showed huge courage and determination as he continued to travel and to lead the Catholic Church worldwide.
"I had the honour of greeting Pope John Paul briefly in the summer of 2002.
"This evening I extended the condolences of Sinn Féin, on the death of the Holy Father, to the Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland, Most Rev.Dr Guiseppe Lazzarotto and to the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland Dr Sean Brady."

The Holy Father was a great man who held the line between traditional Orthodoxy and Modernity pretty well IMO.
He knew that if the Catholic Church was to embrace any and every modern fad it would only damage the Church in the long term.
By its Nature the Church changes but slowly over the course of any one persons lifetime but change nonetheless it does.
The establishment of the Vatican State in 1929 and The Second Vatican Council under Pope John XXIII (1958-1963) were the major events in the development of the Church during the 20th Century.
Pope John Paul II followed in the aftermath of great change that whetted the appetite of some for even more transformations than the Church could comfortably handle.
I don't think he was quite as Conservative, especially compared to his predecessors, as many now think.
Regardless of his Theological Position there is no doubt he was loved and respected by hundreds of millions around the World.
In Ireland especially he will be sadly missed.
