I don't care what the Pope thinks (especially after Iraq). I'm going to see the film and I'm betting it will be great. Too bad for honest Catholics like Noonan their Vatican can't get their story straight. Maybe you would care a bit if you had a better understanding of who John Paul II is, and the role of the Pontif. He is neither a political statesman in the traditional sense, nor a movie critic. He is a spiritual guide. Period.
I know who he is - and who he isn't. He's not the true "Holy Father" nor the way to Him. Period.
