wouldn't lay this charge at Pope Paul II, REGARDLESS of what the "Vatican" states. Pope Paul has lived a long and valiant life. But I am convinced he is no longer running the show, making decisions, or functioning as the head of the Church. He should be retired to a place of comfort and a new successor chosen.

I think the only hope for the Church in the new future is for that successor to be from South America or Africa. JPII is a relic of a bygone era, he proves everday he cannot lead the church thru the coming assault by Islam.

If another euro-weinee is made Pope you can just write off most of Europe as a Islamic protectorate.

I think they need a Nigerian or Sudanese Catholic as Pope.

He would understand Islam VERY WELL.
