		VATICAN CITY, OCT. 3, 2002 (Zenit.org).- In recalling the seventh centenary of the birth of St. Bridget of Sweden, John Paul II presented her as a model for today's woman.
		John Paul II pointed out four lessons to be learned from St. Bridget: "teacher in the acceptance of the cross as a central experience of faith"; "exemplary disciple of the Church in professing a full catholicity"; "model of contemplative and active life"; and "untiring apostle in the quest for unity among Christians."
		In 1999, John Paul II proclaimed St. Bridget, St. Catherine of Siena, and St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) as co-patronesses of Europe.

	Analysis: Papal deeds speak louder
		Most observers believe John Paul was trying to encourage unity between Catholics and Anglicans, whose dialogue since the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) has been a model of civility, even ahead of an ability to spell out quite yet the theological basis for that unity.
		On Oct. 4, in conjunction with an international conference marking the 700th anniversary of the birth of St. Bridget of Sweden, John Paul II took part in a gala vespers service in St. Peter’s Basilica.
		John Paul welcomed Teoctist to the public Mass of thanksgiving for the canonization of Opus Dei founder Josemaria Escriva Oct. 6, standing to embrace him in brotherly fashion before a crowd of 200,000, then ensuring that Teoctist was seated in an exact duplicate of the papal throne.

		John Paul's potent mixture of religion and politics, and its deep roots in Poland, became evident in the first year of his pontificate and was dramatized for the world in his first four trips abroad.
		John Paul's supporters, both in the clergy and among the laity, insisted that because he has based his activism firmly in nonviolence and the sacred inviolability of the individual, his campaigns have only helped the church by showing that its essential values, advanced with commitment and courage, can improve the world.
