Pope John Paul II died on Saturday evening at just before half past nine
local time. He was the first head of the Catholic Church from a Slav
country, and enjoyed great popularity in the Czech Republic. Although most
Czechs are not practising Catholics he was hugely admired for his
significant role in working for the fall of communism in Central Europe.
We shall be bringing reaction as it comes.
