It's just sad how even persons like him have to die this way and are unable to feel their "mission" is complete
May he find some peace of mind before his last travel.
Sasuke I don't think people worship him more than god. These are two completely different things. People who are believers find a link between them and god also thanks to the words of the pope, so for them it's a loss of great importance, and it's good somebdy's still able to mourn him and express sincere grief, especially considering this man spent most of his life trying to talk to people, trying to get them together. I don't think this has only to do with religion. It's like losing a figure of some support, a sort of fatherly image. It's more likely to find people who worship singers or football players more than god... these kind of people are a bore.
