And who has stuffed the hierarchy with these pro-abortion commies? Blessed Paul VI, Saint JPII. Even Benedict.

The Pope is always presented with three dossiers for episcopal appointments. JPII didn’t even read them. He would take the one on top and sign the letter of appointment. Then he would whine about all the disloyal, heterodox bisops.

In the words of “President Schwarzenegger”, “I was elected to lead, not to read.”

I doubt that St. JP did not read them, but if it’s true, so what? If you understand the process to winnow it down to 3, you probably also understand by that point it makes very little difference.

JP never wallowed in administrative or political conflicts. If that resulted in a few different names on chancery doors, it’s well worth the trade-off for the grace and light and warmth he spread throughout the world... and still does.
