JPII is the Athanasius of Vatican II, actually.
Currently reading: The Splendor of Truth by Pope St. John Paul II
In the depths of his heart there always remains a yearning for absolute truth and a thirst to attain full knowledge of it. This is eloquently proved by man's tireless search for knowledge in all fields. It is proved even more by his search for the meaning of life. The development of science and technology, this splendid testimony of the human capacity for understanding and for perseverance, does not free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate religious questions. Rather, it spurs us on to face the most painful and decisive of struggles, those of the heart and of the moral conscience.
The light of God's face shines in all its beauty on the countenance of Jesus Christ, [...] "the way, and the truth, and the life" [...] as the Second Vatican Council recalls: "In fact,it is only in the mystery of the Word incarnate that light is shed on the mystery of man. For Adam, the first man, was a figure of the future man, namely, of Christ the Lord. It is Christ, the last Adam, who fully discloses man to himself and unfolds his noble calling by revealing the mystery of the Father and the Father's love".

Bocca della verita
Każdy, kto był w rzymskiej Bazylice Santa in Cosmedin z pewnością widział Bocca della verita czyli usta prawdy. Według g legendy każdy kto włożył rękę w usta postaci na ogromnym medalionie sprzed dwóch tysięcy lat a był kłamcą tracił rękę. To mówi legenda. Prawda historyczna mówi zaś, że w średniowieczu za kłamstwo obcinano rękę. Zastanawiam się, ilu dziennikarzy w Polsce czy w Holandii i innych…

“Love of neighbour springs from a loving heart which, precisely because it loves, is ready to live out the loftiest challenges. Jesus shows that the commandments must not be understood as a minimum limit not to be gone beyond, but rather as a path involving a moral and spiritual journey towards perfection, at the heart of which is love.”
— Pope John Paul II: Veritatis Splendor, n. 15
“In particular, the question is asked: do the commandments of God, which are written on the human heart and are part of the Covenant, really have the capacity to clarify the daily decisions of individuals and entire societies? Is it possible to obey God and thus love God and neighbour, without respecting these commandments in all circumstances?”
— John Paul II: Veritatis Splendor, n. 4
