STORYLINE:
Pope John Paul II, the Polish pontiff who led the Roman Catholic Church for more than a quarter century and became history's most-traveled pope, has died at 84, the Vatican announced on Saturday.
President George W. Bush led the United States in mourning the pope Saturday, saying "a good and faithful servant of God has been called home."
"The world has lost a champion of peace and freedom," the president said in a brief televised statement from the White House.
The pope personally met several incumbents of the White House, starting with Jimmy Carter in 1980, through Ronald Reagan, George Bush Senior, Bill Clinton and the current president.
Despite George W. Bush being in charge of the world's only super power, Pope John Paul II was not afraid of admonishing the planet's most powerful man, most recently over the war in Iraq.
