The pope was a very much loved and respected man, although I partly agree that the half -mast thing should have stayed for american citizen's only, as it is a tradition for the american public. I also believe that everyone should have paid some respect to the pope for his role amongst the world. I do believe that making a certain religion forced to respect a different religion's leader is wrong, but only in that aspect. We should have respected the pope as a great leader and respect him for all he did for that religion and the world. Not because he was a leader of the catholic church. Regardless of what religion he was, he had strength and gave people hope. Isn't that something to respect him for. It is wrong to judge people by their religions or their races. They are people too and they can be just as great as any one of us. We should respect them for how they treat people as a person and not treat them differently because they're in a different religion.
Does anyone else agree?
