I did stop when I spotted one of the side altar dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
Taking chill out and chill time in the Basilica of San Miguel while the dedicated shoppers did their thing, I was surprised that the first side altar on the right contained a statue to the former pope. I did remember that the canonisation of John Paul II was some years ago, subsequently checked to be 2014.
But my very limited religious participation has contributed to, since then my not hearing the words Pope John Paul II – hence the surprise.
