Whoa, BlackElk!!! Ratchet it back a few notches. You definitely have me confused with some other Freeper. I am merely suggesting that JPII was not the best administrator in the world...never said he was an invalid Pope, etc. You are inserting lots of ideas in my post that were not there. Not that I owe you this info, but I am a Catholic in good standing, always have been, always will be. You might want to examine your own conscience regarding kindness to others.
No one says he was perfect. He was, however, John Paul the Great. If you disagree, I would suggest that you will find easier and more valid targets in Benedict XV (1914-1922), John XXIII and Paul VI and that your memory may not be long enough to remember the bad old days of the 1960s. Most open criticism of JP II by those claiming Catholicism comes from SSPXers who are permanently angry over his application of justice to their heroes and to their schism. Most Catholics were more than satisfied. The schismatics were not.
If one is attacked as schismatic (i.e., an adherent of schismatic SSPX), it is sufficien to apologize if the info were wrong but reasonably founded. In the event that the target were schismatic, kindness is NOT owed to the performer of the usual dance of the schismatic pretending to be Catholic because the pope was wrong because_________(fill in the blank)__________. The pope sits in earthly judgment on us and not we on him. Examine your own conscience. Meanwhile, I will take your word for it in the absnce of further proof.
