He is not called John Paul the Great for nothing. Changed the course of history. No amount of anticatholic propaganda will ever change that.

Sorry. But no. Changed the course of history? Yes. In good ways, but also in bad ways. Really really bad ways. Unacceptable bad ways. Heavily documented and irrefutable bad ways.

What happened to children around the globe in care of the church when he was Pope was not propaganda epluribus_2. It is called pedophilia.

Not only did he and his successors refuse to stop it when approached by victims, to this day the church refuses to do all it can to make things right.

Matthew 18:6 But anyone who is the downfall of one of these little ones who have faith in me would be better drowned in the depths of the sea with a great millstone round his neck.

Mark 9:42 'But anyone who is the downfall of one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown into the sea with a great millstone hung round his neck.

The concept is important enough that it is recorded twice in the Gospels.

The Catholic church could very easily form an order to care for those who were damaged in it's care, and that would be orders of magnitude more helpful than monetary payouts. But to this day they refuse to do so on any significant scale.
